|---|---|
| Location | Jefferson |
| Length | 2.5 mi[1] (4.0 km) |
| Existed | 1955–present |
From the west, LA 611-1 begins on River Road at an intersection with Jefferson Heights Avenue inJefferson. LA 611-1 continues eastward, running parallel to theMississippi River, and intersectsLA 611-3 (Shrewsbury Road). The route ends at theJefferson Parish/Orleans Parish Line adjacent to Monticello Avenue. LA 611-1 is known locally as River Road and is an undivided, two-lane highway for its entire length.
LA 611-1 formerly intersected five other routes in the LA 611 group that have since been deleted from the state highway system:LA 611-2 (Central Avenue),LA 611-4 (Labarre Road),LA 611-5 (Brooklyn Avenue),LA 611-7 (Dakin Street), andLA 611-8 (Monticello Avenue).
LA 611-1 comprised most of State Routes 459 and 1232 in the pre-1955 Louisiana highway system.

| Location | Jefferson |
| Length | 0.34 mi[1] (550 m) |
| Existed | 1955–present |
From the south, LA 611-3 begins at an intersection withLA 611-1 (River Road) in Jefferson and, after passing the Jefferson Parish Streets Department facility, terminates at an intersection withU.S. 90 (Jefferson Highway). The route is known locally asShrewsbury Road and is an undivided, two-lane highway for its entire length.
LA 611-3 originally continued along Shrewsbury Road past U.S. 90 and across the railroad tracks toU.S. 61 (Airline Highway, now Airline Drive). The route was severed in June 1957 when the railroad crossing on Shrewsbury Road was closed following completion of the parallel Causeway Boulevard (LA 3046) overpass. The extension of theEarhart Expressway (LA 3139) from Deckbar Avenue to Cleary Avenue in 1984 created a second barrier. In 2002, the segment of LA 611-3 north of the railroad tracks was given a separate route number,LA 3261, before being deleted altogether in 2010. LA 611-3 was then shortened to its present terminus at U.S. 90.
In its original form, the route of LA 611-3 included what was once a small piece of theJefferson Highway (State Route 1 in the pre-1955 Louisiana highway system) and U.S. 61 prior to the direct extension of Jefferson Highway intoSouth Claiborne Avenue in 1928. Shrewsbury Road then became part of State Route 454 until the1955 Louisiana Highway renumbering.
The entire highway is inJefferson,Jefferson Parish.

.svg) Louisiana Highway 611-9 | |
|---|---|
| Location | Metairie,New Orleans |
| Length | 3.6 mi[1] (5.8 km) |
| Existed | 1955–present |
From the west, LA 611-9 begins at the intersection ofU.S. 61 (Airline Drive) and Severn Avenue. After briefly heading north on Severn Avenue, LA 611-9 immediately turns eastward onto Metairie Road, which is the local name for the remainder of its route. The first block of Metairie Road handles eastbound traffic only, and westbound traffic is diverted onto parallel Johnson Street to reach Severn Avenue. Running east atop the Metairie Ridge, LA 611-9 passes underCauseway Boulevard and intersects Bonnabel Boulevard. It entersNew Orleans/Orleans Parish before coming to an end at a diamond interchange (Exit 231A) withI-10 (thePontchartrain Expressway) at Pontchartrain Boulevard.
With the exception of the block-long divided, four-lane section near Severn Avenue (configured in February 1957), LA 611-9 is an undivided, two-lane highway inJefferson Parish. It divides and expands to four lanes when it enters New Orleans and remains in that capacity until its terminus at I-10.
In December 1916, the route of today's LA 611-9 was designated as the New Orleans entrance of theJefferson Highway. This became State Route 1 in 1921 andU.S. 61 in 1926. These highways were moved off of the route in 1928-1929 when Jefferson Highway was extended along the Orleans-Kenner interurban streetcar right-of-way from Shrewsbury Road to the Protection Levee atSouth Claiborne Avenue to provide a more direct entrance into New Orleans. The former route along Shrewsbury Road and Metairie Road became State Route 454 until the1955 Louisiana Highway renumbering. (Today's LA 611-9 briefly carried U.S. 61 again from 1933 to 1935.)
