Louisiana Highway 428 (LA 428) is a state highway in Louisiana that serves Jefferson and Orleans Parishes. It spans an irregular direction (though it is bannered as an east/west route) for 8.96 miles. It exists entirely as a four lane, divided road.

Route description

From the south, LA 428 begins as Behrman Highway at a junction with Louisiana Highway 23 in Terrytown. LA 428 then continues due north out of Jefferson Parish and into Orleans Parish. LA 428 then turns west and becomes General de Gaulle Drive and intersects the Westbank Expressway before it enters Gretna and becomes Burmaster Street. About 3 blocks from the Mississippi River, LA 428 turns north onto Nunez Street for a few blocks before turning eastward and becoming General Meyer Avenue. LA 428 reenters Orleans Parish and continues due east until General Meyer ends at an intersection with Woodland Avenue (Louisiana Highway 407).
