Interstate 220 (abbreviated I-220) in Louisiana is an east-west loop around Shreveport, Louisiana in the northwestern corner of the state. The eastern terminus begins at Interstate 20, exit 17B, close to the Louisiana Downs racetrack. The route proceeds north then westward through the northern sections of Bossier City and Shreveport before curving back southward and meeting I-20 again in western Shreveport near Shreveport Regional Airport.
At I-20, I-220 ends and continues southward as Louisiana Highway 3132 and continues south and east around the southern section of the city, through an interchange with Interstate 49 and beyond to the Bert Kouns Industrial Loop (Louisiana Highway 526).
There have been proposals to extend the highway eastward over the Red River and then northward to complete the loop by reaching Interstate 20, but Barksdale Air Force Base is in the way of a direct route to join up with the beginning of I-220. Google Maps even show ramp stubs for a possible extension southward from its eastern terminus with Interstate 20.
