Louisiana Highway 601 (LA 601) runs runs in a north–south direction from Eakers Street and Crothers Drive near
I-20 and
LA 602-1 in
Richmond, along Crothers Drive, to and Johnson Street to
US 65 (South Cedar Street/South Chestnut Street) in downtown
Tallulah. LA 601 also serves as the eastern terminus for
LA 3202 (Felicia Avenue). LA 601 first appeared on the official state highway map in 1976, running between US 65 in Tallulah, to LA 602 in Richmond, south of present day I-20 (which was under construction at the time). In 1977, LA 601 was truncated to its current terminus after I-20 was completed, cutting off the southern section of the route. This former section of LA 601 is now known as Eaker Road and is locally maintained. ;Major intersections ==Louisiana Highway 602==
