U.S. Route 167 is a north-southUnited States Highway within theU.S. states ofLouisiana andArkansas. It runs for 500 miles (800 km)[1] fromAsh Flat, Arkansas atU.S. Route 62/U.S. Route 412 toAbbeville, Louisiana atLouisiana Highway 14. It goes through the cities ofLittle Rock, Arkansas,Alexandria, Louisiana, andLafayette, Louisiana.
Some of the highway's route has been combined with or parallelsInterstate 49 in Louisiana. BetweenJunction City, Arkansas, andRuston, Louisiana, U.S. 167 runs concurrent withU.S. 63.[citation needed]
U.S. Highway 167 inLouisiana runs 241.05 miles (387.93 km) in a north–south direction from the national southern terminus atLouisiana Highway 14 Business (LA 14 Bus.) inAbbeville to theArkansas state line atJunction City.
The route cuts through the center of Louisiana for roughly its entire length and passes through two of the state's metropolitan areas,Lafayette andAlexandria. Between those cities, US 167 ranges in character from an urban freeway to a lightly traveled two-lane collector. During this stretch, it overlaps the southern 23 miles (37 km) ofInterstate 49 (I-49) from Lafayette throughOpelousas before making a diversion through ruralEvangeline Parish to serve the small city ofVille Platte.
US 167 follows a combination of I-49 and thePineville Expressway through Alexandria andPineville, crossing theRed River via the twin-span Purple Heart Memorial Bridge. US 167 remains a surface four-lane highway through northern Louisiana and is the primary north–south route throughWinnfield,Jonesboro, andRuston. The northern portion of the route, beginning at theI-20 interchange in Ruston, also carries the first 35 miles (56 km) ofUS 63.
On its southern end, US 167 began nearColfax, Louisiana when designated as one of the originalnumbered U.S. Highways in 1926. However, the route was extended to Abbeville in 1949 over a number of existing state highways, more than doubling its length within Louisiana. Since that time, US 167 has experienced several alignment shifts as freeways were constructed in its two urban areas. More recently, all but approximately 40 miles (64 km) of the route was widened to four lanes as part of theLouisiana Department of Transportation and Development (La DOTD) TIMED program.
From the south, US 167 begins at an intersection withLA 14 Bus. (Port Street) in theVermilion Parish city ofAbbeville, located in southernLouisiana. The route heads north on Park Avenue, an undivided four-lane thoroughfare, and crosses mainlineLA 14 (West Summers Drive). US 167 travels due north from Abbeville and becomes a divided four-lane highway on a wide right-of-way upon entering rural surroundings. The highway will repeat this pattern throughout the majority of its distance in Louisiana. Passing throughMaurice, US 167 has a brief concurrency withLA 92. The highway then curves to the northeast and crosses intoLafayette Parish.[2][3][4]
US 167 enters the suburban outgrowth ofLafayette and crosses the city limits just beyond a junction withLA 733 (East Broussard Road). The highway, locally known as Johnston Street, becomes a busy commercial corridor near theAcadiana Mall and intersects several major thoroughfares on the southwest side of town, includingLA 3073 (Ambassador Caffery Parkway).
Prior to 2022, US 167 passed theUniversity of Louisiana at Lafayette, located at a junction withUS 90 Bus./LA 182 (University Avenue) and turned northwest onto the Evangeline Thruway, aone-way pair, and overlappedUS 90 for about ten blocks. That year, US 167 was rerouted onto North College Road, Bertrand Drive, and the northernmost section of Ambassador Caffery Parkway, where it intersects US 90 before intersectingI-10. The highway then runs concurrently with I-10 for approximately three miles before reaching acloverleaf interchange withI-49 at exit 103. This interchange also marks the end of the I-10 concurrence as well as the southern terminus ofI-49.[2][4][5] The portion of the Evangeline Thruway between US 90 and I-10 previously signed as US 167 is now signed as LA 182.
US 167 utilizes the alignment of I-49 for the next 23 miles (37 km). The freeway initially carries six lanes of traffic but quickly narrows to four through lanes. The highway crosses from Lafayette intoCarencro at exit 2, which connects toLA 98 (Gloria Switch Road). Carencro proper is served by exit 4, connecting withLA 726. North of Carencro, I-49/US 167 intersects the parallel LA 182 before crossing intoSt. Landry Parish.[2][4][5]
In St. Landry Parish, the freeway cuts through the adjacent communities ofSunset andGrand Coteau, served by exit 11 toLA 93. Further north, the route skirts the eastern edge of the city ofOpelousas, which is accessed by exit 18 toLA 31 (Creswell Lane) and exit 19 toUS 190. US 167 departs from the alignment of I-49 at the next exit and heads west through a point known asNuba and a junction withLA 10 and LA 182.[2][4][6]
Narrowing to an undivided two-lane highway, US 167 travels northwest, overlapping LA 10 intoEvangeline Parish. Here, the highway enters the city ofVille Platte and diverges onto the one-way pair of LaSalle and Main Streets through the center of town. During this stretch, US 167 intersects and briefly overlapsLA 29. After narrowing to two lanes again, US 167 turns due north at the western edge of Ville Platte and separates from LA 10. The highway passes to the east ofMillers Lake and through an area known asBayou Chicot, where it intersectsLA 106. A few miles later, US 167 reaches a T-intersection withLA 13 inTurkey Creek. US 167 turns north to continue the path of LA 13 and travels several miles through a very sparsely populated area.[2][4][7]
US 167 crosses intoRapides Parish just north ofClearwater and crosses under I-49 at exit 61. Soon afterward, it reaches a T-intersection withUS 71 nearMeeker and departs from the last stretch of two-lane pavement along its route. US 167 turns northwest and follows the alignment of US 71 alongside theUnion Pacific Railroad (UP) line for the next 13 miles (21 km) throughLecompte,Lamourie, andChambers. In Chambers, the highway passes theLouisiana State University at Alexandria, located about four miles (6.4 km) south of theAlexandria city limits.[2][8][9]
Upon entering Alexandria, the principal city of central Louisiana, US 71 and US 167 engage into an interchange with I-49 at exit 80. (This interchange is also exit 63 on US 71.) US 167 takes the entrance ramp to begin another concurrency with I-49, while US 71 proceeds straight ahead onto MacArthur Drive co-signed asUS 167 Bus. This time, the freeway begins with four through lanes and widens to six lanes further into town. On the edge of the business district, US 167 departs from I-49 a final time via exit 84 and transitions onto the Pineville Expressway joined withLA 28. As the highway elevates to begin the approach onto theRed River bridge, ramps connect toLA 1 andLA 28 Bus. via the grade-level one-way pair of Casson and Fulton Streets. This interchange also reconnects US 167 Bus. to the parent route, though it is not signed here. US 167 proceeds over the six-lane twin-span Purple Heart Memorial Bridge and crosses from Alexandria into the smaller adjacent city ofPineville.[2][8][9]
US 167 is predominantly a grade-level four-lane freeway through the Pineville area with exits that do not utilize a numbering scheme. Tightdiamond interchanges connect withLA 1250 (Shamrock Street) to Downtown Pineville andLA 107 towardMarksville. LA 28 departs to the east towardJonesville at the next exit. US 167 curves northwest on the Pineville Expressway throughKingsville and intersectsUS 165, the main route connecting Alexandria withMonroe. Shortly afterward, in the community ofTioga, US 167 joins US 71 again briefly until the latter splits off towardShreveport. Just before crossing intoGrant Parish, the freeway ends as US 167 intersectsLA 3225 atCreola.[2][8][9]
US 167 enters theKisatchie National Forest atProspect and remains within its boundaries throughout Grant Parish and intoWinn Parish. Notable junctions along this stretch includeLA 8 at Bentley,LA 123 inDry Prong, andLA 500 atPackton. About nine miles (14 km) north of Packton, US 167 curves due west onto East Lafayette Street in the town ofWinnfield. The route overlapsUS 84 andLA 34 through the center of town, where it crosses over theCanadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) railway line and transitions onto West Court Street. With the other highways departing to the south and west, US 167 resumes its northerly course out of Winnfield, passing throughDodson and intoJackson Parish.[2][9][10][11]
US 167 follows the CPKC into the town ofJonesboro, where it travels along Old Winnsboro Road. After beginning a concurrency withLA 147, US 167 intersectsLA 4 (East Main Street) in the center of town. Just north of Jonesboro, US 167 passes through the adjacent communities ofHodge andNorth Hodge, where LA 147 turns off to the northwest. US 167 winds its way throughQuitman,Ansley, andClay before crossing intoLincoln Parish.[2][12][13]
In Lincoln Parish, US 167 proceeds north into the city ofRuston and diverges onto the one-way pair of Vienna and Trenton Streets. The route overlapsUS 80 for nine blocks and also begins a longer concurrency withLA 146 at California Avenue. Heading out of the business district, US 167 passes through an interchange withI-20, connecting with Shreveport to the west and Monroe to the east. This interchange also marks the southern terminus ofUS 63, and the two highways will remain paired throughout the remainder of their distance in Louisiana. North of Ruston, the rural surroundings return once again. While passing throughVienna, LA 146 departs to the west. US 167 proceeds throughUnionville andDubach before crossing intoUnion Parish.[2][13][14]
In Union Parish, the highway entersBernice, where it follows another one-way pair (Cherry and Plum Streets). In this small town,LA 2 Alt. utilizes the alignment of US 167 to reconnect to its parent route,LA 2. InLillie, US 167 intersects the northern terminus ofLA 15 just west ofSpearsville. The route then curves northwest towardJunction City, located on theArkansas state line. US 167 follows Main Street through town and intersectsLA 9 (West Fifth Street). At 3rd Street, the highway crosses the state line intoJunction City, Arkansas and proceeds northward co-signed with US 63 towardEl Dorado.[2][13][15]
US 167 has several differentfunctional classifications over the course of its route, as determined by theLouisiana Department of Transportation and Development (La DOTD). The route is classified as an urban principal arterial through most of the cities it serves. Outside of town, the majority of the route serves as a rural minor arterial south of Alexandria and as a rural principal arterial northward. Two notable exceptions are the portions running concurrent with I-49, which are classified as urban and rural interstates, and the portion between Ville Platte and Turkey Creek, which is a rural major collector. Daily traffic volume in 2013 peaked at 53,500 vehicles in Lafayette and 56,100 in Alexandria, both along concurrencies with I-49. The lowest count reported was 1,110 vehicles north of Turkey Creek.[16]
Several pieces of the southern half of US 167 are included in the state-designated system of tourist routes known as theLouisiana Scenic Byways. The portion between Abbeville and Lafayette is part of theJean Lafitte Scenic Byway,[17] and much of the route through Evangeline Parish is part of theZydeco Cajun Prairie Scenic Byway.[18]

Highway 167 enters Arkansas atJunction City, atwin city withJunction City, Louisiana. Entering the state, Highway 167 is paired withU.S. Highway 63. The highways runs northeast through ruralUnion County to a junction withHighway 7 near the historicJoel Smith House. The three highways begin aconcurrency intersectU.S. Highway 82 shortly after enteringEl Dorado. North of this junction is a grade-separated intersection withU.S. Highway 82B andU.S. Highway 167B, leading into downtown El Dorado and theEl Dorado Commercial Historic District. The next intersection is with Main Street and is also grade-separated. Highway 63 breaks from the aforementioned concurrency to the east towardWarren. Following an interchange with Champagnolle Road, Highway 167 ends its overlap with Highway 7 by exiting the freeway and heading north towardCalion. This intersection also serves as the northern terminus for Highway 167B, with Highway 7 continuing north towardSmackover.[19]Highway 167 runs north through sparsely populated parts of southernCalhoun County prior to enteringHampton, the county seat. The highway intersectsU.S. Highway 278 (Main Street) and passes by the historicCalhoun County Courthouse and theHampton Waterworks, both listed on theNational Register of Historic Places.[20] In the northern part of the county, Highway 167 meets another of its three business routes in the state, which runs into downtownThornton. Highway 167 continues northeast to a junction withU.S. Highway 79, and the two routes begin a concurrency towardFordyce.
US 167 was designated in November 1926 as one of the original routes of thenumbered U.S. Highway system.[21] At that time, it was a much shorter route with a southern terminus at US 71 betweenAloha andColfax, northwest of Alexandria. The entire route within Louisiana followed anauto trail organized in 1919 known as thePershing Way.[22][23] Like the more well-known and establishedJefferson Highway, the Pershing Way was promoted as an international highway stretching fromNew Orleans toWinnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. However, the two followed entirely different routes through Louisiana that intersected in Alexandria. While the Jefferson Highway traveled diagonally across the state, the Pershing Way made an "L" by heading west from New Orleans to Lafayette via theOld Spanish Trail (another auto trail and the predecessor of US 90) before turning north and cutting through the center of the state.[23][24] When Louisiana implemented a numbering system for its state highways in 1921, the Pershing Way was designated asState Route 5.[23][25] Once the state began signposting its U.S. Highways in 1928,[26] they remained co-signed with their respective state designations until a renumbering of the system in 1955 eliminated such concurrencies.[27]
Since its creation in 1926, the southern terminus of US 167 has been moved twice. In 1932, the highway was shifted south of Winnfield to followState Route 99, an early addition to the state highway system that had recently been paved.[28][29] This change took the highway through Dry Prong to a different junction with US 71 near Creola, slightly extending the route and allowing a more direct connection with Alexandria. The original alignment was a gravel route that followed what is nowLA 471 throughVerda toAtlanta andLA 34 from Atlanta to Winnfield.[9][28]
US 167 assumed its full length in Louisiana in 1949, when the designation was extended over existing highways southward to Abbeville.[30][31]State Route 43 carried the highway from Abbeville to Lafayette with the old Pershing Way (Route 5) taking it from there as far as Nuba, a point between Opelousas and Washington. The remainder of the distance to Alexandria was primarily composed ofState Route 22 to Ville Platte,State Route 23 to Bayou Chicot,State Route 218 to Turkey Creek,State Route 26 to Meeker, and the concurrent US 71/State Route 1 into the city.
In Alexandria, US 167 initially followed a path similar to its current business route and that of US 165. I-49 and the Pineville Expressway did not yet exist, and the primary through-town route followed MacArthur Drive, Lee Street, Bolton Avenue, and Murray Street into the downtown area. The highway crossed the Red River via theMurray Street Bridge, now demolished and replaced with the parallelJackson Street Bridge. It continued through Pineville on Main Street, Military Highway, and Jefferson Highway to the modern junction of US 71 and US 165. The route then followed US 71 to Tioga andLA 3225 to Creola.[9][31]
Shortly after its extension through Alexandria, a bypass route for US 167 was designated that followed MacArthur Drive (then known as the Alexandria Bypass) around the city and across theO.K. Allen Bridge upriver.[31][32] Portions of this route were part of the existingUS 71 Byp. and a newUS 165 Byp. By 1953, mainline US 167 was routed over the O.K. Allen Bridge via Bolton Avenue, and the bypass was truncated to the intersection of Bolton Avenue and MacArthur Drive, which was atraffic circle at that time.[32][33] This routing remained in effect until the early 1960s when US 167 was moved out of Downtown Alexandria altogether and absorbed the bypass route, which was then deleted.[34][35]
In Lafayette, the route's other urbanized area, US 167 followed Johnston Street into town as it does today. However, it originally turned north onto University Avenue (then known as College Avenue) across US 90 and followed the present route of LA 182 through Carencro, Sunset, and Opelousas.[31] The portion along University Avenue between Johnston and Cameron Streets in Lafayette was concurrent with US 90, as the Evangeline Thruway did not yet exist. Over the years, US 90 was shifted back-and-forth from its original routing through the courthouse square (with University Avenue signed as a bypass route) to the University Avenue alignment (with the courthouse alignment signed as a business route). During one short period in the mid-1950s when the former configuration was in effect, mainline US 167 was also routed through the courthouse square with a bypass route designated along University Avenue.[33][36] The courthouse square route was as follows: Johnston Street, Jefferson Street, Main Street, St. John Street, and Cameron Street to University Avenue.

U.S. Highway 167 Business (US 167 Bus.) runs 5.39 miles (8.67 km) in a north–south direction through theRapides Parish city ofAlexandria.[37] It follows the former path of US 167 through town before it was shifted onto the newly completed I-49 in 1994.[39]
From the south, US 167 Bus. begins at an interchange withI-49 (exit 80) andUS 71 (exit 63) at the southern end of Alexandria. Mainline US 167 travels concurrently with I-49 to the north of the interchange and US 71 to the south. The business route heads northwest on MacArthur Drive, a divided four-lane highway with frontage roads, co-signed with US 71. It then turns northward onto Lee Street and becomes an undivided four-lane highway. After serving as a corridor for small commercial establishments for nearly two miles (3.2 km), US 167 Bus. cuts through a residential neighborhood via theone-way pair of Mason and Overton Streets. A dozen blocks later, the route reaches an intersection with Bringhurst Street. Here, US 167 Bus. proceeds straight ahead co-signed withLA 1 andLA 28 Bus.
The travel lanes converge as the highway immediately heads through an underpass of theUnion Pacific Railroad (UP) line and crosses under both the elevated I-49 and Pineville Expressway (US 167/LA 28). For the next four blocks, US 167 Bus. diverges again onto the one-way pair of Casson and Fulton Streets near the southeast corner of the downtown area, effectively serving as frontage roads of the Pineville Expressway. Ramps connect to southbound I-49/US 167 and to the Pineville Expressway (northbound US 167 and eastbound LA 28) as the latter increases in elevation to cross theRed River via the twin-spanPurple Heart Memorial Bridge intoPineville.[9][8][40]
US 167 Bus. is classified as an urban principal arterial by theLouisiana Department of Transportation and Development (La DOTD). The average daily traffic volume in 2013 ranged from 7,300 to 24,400 vehicles with the highest counts recorded near the I-49 and US 167 interchanges at either end of the route.[16] The posted speed limit is 50 mph (80 km/h) along MacArthur Drive, reduced to 35 mph (55 km/h) otherwise.[40]
