Louisiana Highway 2 Alternate (LA 2 Alt.) is a state highway located in northern Louisiana that runs 43.1 miles (69.4 km) in a west–east direction from Shongaloo to Bernice, connecting to its parent route at either end.
LA 2 Alternate 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 Alternate 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 Alternate heads due east and crosses from Webster Parish into Claiborne Parish. Just across the parish line, LA 2 Alternate 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 Alternate 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 Alternate intersects LA 807.
