Louisiana Highway 3132 (LA 3132) is a state highway located in Shreveport, Louisiana. It runs 10.21 miles (16.43 km) in a general east–west direction from the junction of Interstates 20 and 220 to LA 523, serving as a southwestern bypass of the downtown area. With I-220, the highway helps to carry through traffic between the two disconnected portions of Interstate 49 (I-49), the area's main north–south route.

Though the controlled-access highway was officially designated as the Terry Bradshaw Passway in 2003, it is commonly known as the Inner Loop Expressway and is still signed as such from intersecting routes.

From the west, LA 3132 begins at a partial cloverleaf interchange with I-20 (Exit 11) and I-220 (Exits 1B–C) in Shreveport, the largest city in northwestern Louisiana. The interchange forms the western terminus of I-220, a northern bypass of Shreveport and neighboring Bossier City. I-20 connects with downtown Shreveport to the east and Dallas, Texas to the west. LA 3132 heads south initially as a six-lane controlled-access highway alongside Shreveport Regional Airport and passes through a diamond interchange with LA 511 (West 70th Street). Narrowing to four lanes, LA 3132 proceeds through a sparsely developed area and curves due east. The highway then has interchanges with three north–south thoroughfares in quick succession: the local roads Walker Road (Exit 3) and Jewella Avenue (Exit 4), followed by US 171 (Mansfield Road). Eastbound traffic must access the latter via Exit 4 while westbound traffic uses the independent Exit 5.
