Louisiana Highway 176
Louisiana Highway 176 runs in a north-south direction in Lafayette, located in Lafayette Parish. It parallels US 167, the city's primary north-south highway, from a point near the downtown area to the northern limit at Carencro.The route begins at US 90 and US 167, which run concurrently along Northwest and Northeast Evangeline Thruway, a couplet of one-way streets. LA 176 initially heads northeast along Jefferson Boulevard as an undivided four-lane highway. After three blocks, it turns north onto Moss Street and passes along the west side of Lafayette's City Park, crossing the Louisiana and Delta Railroad tracks immediately afterward. later, LA 176 intersects West/East Alexander Street and widens to accommodate a center turning lane. Soon afterward, the highway dips below grade and crosses underneath I-10 just east of Exit 103. LA 176 continues north for to an intersection with LA 98 on the Lafayette-Carencro line. LA 98 connects to Exit 2 on I-49/US 167 located to the west.
In the pre-1955 state highway system, the current route of LA 176 made up of the entirety of former State Route 675 and State Route C-1384. LA 176 was created in the 1955 Louisiana Highway renumbering, but it was originally a short connector between LA 94 and the junction of US 90 and US 167 in downtown Lafayette. When US 90 and US 167 were moved onto the Evangeline Thruway around 1964, US 167 took over much of the original route of LA 176. For the next 45 years, the route comprised only the portion of Jefferson Boulevard between Evangeline Thruway and the intersection of Simcoe and Surrey Streets. In 2009, a further re-alignment of routes in the area resulted in the LA 176 designation replacing that of former LA 728-1, greatly lengthening the route.

Louisiana Highway 177 runs in a north-south direction from LA 175 north of Pleasant Hill in DeSoto Parish to the concurrent US 84 and LA 1 at Gahagan, a point west of Coushatta in Red River Parish.Louisiana Highway 178

It is an undivided two-lane highway for its entire length.
As its local name indicates, the route was once a small part of the historic Jefferson Highway auto trail which extended from New Orleans to Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada in the late 1910s and 1920s. When the original state highway system was created in 1921, it became part of States Routes 1 and 5. In 1926, it also served as part of the original alignment of US 71 until the completion of the O.K. Allen Bridge over the Red River in the 1930s.
LA 180 was created in the 1955 Louisiana Highway renumbering, and its route originally followed the entirety of Jefferson Highway between US 165 Business and US 71. The deleted portion, though no longer state-maintained, retains destination signage directing traffic from US 165 Business toward US 71 and US 165, heading toward Shreveport and Monroe, respectively.
Louisiana Highway 181
Louisiana Highway 182
Louisiana Highway 183
Louisiana Highway 183 runs in a north-south direction from a point just south of I-20 at Holly Ridge to LA 134 west of Epps in Richland Parish.Louisiana Highway 184
Louisiana Highway 184 runs in a north-south direction along Chaffee Road east of Leesville, Vernon Parish. It connects Fort Polk North, an area within the Fort Polk U.S. Army base with LA 28, the main highway between Leesville and Alexandria. Though its geographic direction is north-south, LA 184 is signed as an east-west route and treated accordingly in the La DOTD route log.The route begins at the concurrent LA 8 and LA 28, east of US 171 in Leesville. Eastbound LA 28 connects to Alexandria in neighboring Rapides Parish. LA 185 heads south and intersects LA 468. later, it reaches the guard house at the entrance to Fort Polk. State maintenance ends a short distance later at an intersection with Pendleton Drive, which leads to a residential area within the base.
In the pre-1955 state highway system, LA 184 was designated as State Route C-2040. LA 184 was created in the 1955 Louisiana Highway renumbering, and its route has remained the same to the present day.
Louisiana Highway 185
Louisiana Highway 185 ran in a northwest to southeast direction along Northgate Road in Bossier City, Bossier Parish. It connected Barksdale Air Force Base to LA 72, which leads to several main highways in the area. Destination signage on LA 72 also directs motorists onto Northgate Road to reach the Eighth Air Force Museum located within the base.The route began at LA 72 two blocks east of LA 3105, which connects to nearby I-20 at Exit 22. LA 185 headed southeast as an undivided four-lane highway and gained a center turning lane as it entered a residential neighborhood. It proceeded along the west side of Barksdale AFB until it reached the north gate of the facility.
In the pre-1955 state highway system, LA 185 was designated as State Route C-1333. LA 185 was created in the 1955 Louisiana Highway renumbering, and its route remained the same while in the state highway system. After rehabilitation of the roadway in 2013, La DOTD turned the route over to the government of Bossier City as part of its Road Transfer Program.
