Louisiana State Route 55 ran in a north–south direction from the junction of
US 79/
US 80/
State Route 4 in
Shreveport,
Caddo Parish to the
Arkansas state line north of
Ida. The route was entirely concurrent with
US 71. The above mileage reflects a gap in the route between
Dixie and
Gilliam, as that portion of the highway was being relocated at the time of the
1955 Louisiana Highway renumbering. ==Louisiana State Route 56==
