Louisiana Highway 728 (LA728) is a collection of two state highways in Walroy south of Lafayette in Lafayette Parish. Both highways are part of Hugh Wallis Road and generally run parallel to US90 and a BNSF railroad.
LA728-2 (0.37 miles or 0.60 kilometres) begins at a curve tangent and heads north-northwest past a hotel and a few homes. The highway ends at LA729 (General Mouton Avenue).[20]
LA728-3 (0.29 miles or 0.47 kilometres) begins at a superstreet intersection with US90 where it travels west to cross the railroad, then turns to the north-northwest along Hugh Wallis Road. It ends at a right in/right out intersection with Kaliste Saloom Road.[21]
The two current sections of road were previously united as LA728-2. The highway had previously crossed Kaliste Saloom Road before a portion of Hugh Wallis Road to the north was realigned and transferred out of state jurisdiction. The construction that created the two separate sections occurred between 2015 and 2016.[21]
