With the 1955 renumbering, the state highway department initially categorized all routes into three classes: "A" (primary), "B" (secondary), and "C" (farm-to-market). [12] This system has since been updated and replaced by a more specific functional classification system. When finally completed, the new roadway in Assumption Parish was originally designated as part of LA 996 but was switched with the LA 69 designation around 1965. [13] [14] This change applied the route number within the "primary" system of state highways onto the best and most direct route, a practice not often followed during the pre-1955 system.
As the 1955 route description indicates, LA 69 originally continued along Augusta Road across LA 1 west of Bayou Goula, but this portion of the route was returned to local control shortly afterward. [15] About this same time, the section of LA 69 south of White Castle through Samstown was paved. [16] [17] The roadway traversing the swamp between Grand Bayou and Samstown was paved around 1965, [13] [14] but the portion along Augusta Road in Bayou Goula remains gravel to this day. [4]
La DOTD is currently engaged in a program that aims to transfer about 5,000 miles (8,000 km) of state-owned roadways to local governments over the next several years. [18] Under this plan of "right-sizing" the state highway system, the portion of LA 69 running along Augusta Road in Bayou Goula was proposed for deletion as it does not meet a significant interurban travel function. As of 2019, the portion of LA 69 running along Augusta Road in Bayou Goula is under agreement to be removed from the state highway system and transferred to local control. [19]
