Louisiana State Route 7 the Morganza Spillway in the same way that LA 1 was split in half with the opening of the Bonnet Carre Spillway. LA 7 followed the railroad to Livonia, where it met LA 1 and the two were paired to Port Allen. After crossing the Mississippi River in Port Allen, LA 1 turned to the south in Baton Rouge, while LA 7 picked up US 61 and US 190. US 61 split from LA 7 at a traffic circle, with LA 7 carrying US 190 through the Florida Parishes. US 190 was split from LA 7 in Hammond, where LA
Mississippi River Basin Model 1937, 1943, 1945 and 1952 were reproduced, as well as hypothetical floods at different periods of the year. Tests on individual problems were conducted until 1971 but high costs and growth of computer modelling meant that the facility was put on standby. The last use was in 1973, when a potentially catastrophic failure arose at the Old River Control Structure. The model was used to show that the untested Morganza Spillway could be opened effectively, without diverting polluted water through New Orleans and Baton Rouge, as well as identifying levees that required topping up. In 1993 the site was taken
