Louisiana Highway 2 Alternate (LA 2 Alt.) is a state highway located in northern Louisiana. It runs 43.1 miles (69.4 km) in an east–west direction from Shongaloo to Bernice, connecting to its parent route at either end.
LA 2 Alt. parallels the route of LA 2 to the north, traveling through the town of Haynesville, where it intersects U.S. Highway 79 (US 79). It is the only "Alternate" state route in Louisiana.
From the west, LA 2 Alt. begins at an intersection with LA 2 and LA 159 in Shongaloo. While LA 2 turns to the south co-signed with LA 159, LA 2 Alt. heads due east and crosses from Webster Parish into Claiborne Parish. Just across the parish line, LA 2 Alt. intersects LA 521. It then continues eastward for 4.0 miles (6.4 km) and enters the town of Haynesville. Here it intersects LA 534, crosses the Louisiana and North West Railroad (LNW) tracks, and intersects US 79. LA 2 Alt. turns south, approaching the center of town and overlapping US 79 for one block, before resuming an eastward course along Sherman Street. On the east edge of town, LA 2 Alt. intersects LA 807.
