LA 700 begins at a junction with LA 35 located about 1 mile (1.6 km) north of Kaplan. After traveling east for 1 mile (1.6 km), the highway turns due north and passes through Andrew, intersecting LA 699. LA 700 has a brief concurrency with LA 92 in an area known as Indian Bayou. It then crosses the waterway of the same name, simultaneously crossing from Vermilion Parish into Lafayette Parish. LA 700 continues a short distance further to an intersection with LA 342 west of Ridge. It is an undivided two-lane highway for its entire length.
Louisiana Highway 705 (LA 705) runs 1.66 miles (2.67 km) in an east–west direction from the Acadia Parish line to LA 35 west of Indian Bayou, Vermilion Parish. It is an undivided two-lane highway for its entire length.[3]

Louisiana Highway 728 (LA 728) 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 US 90 and a BNSF railroad.
LA 728-2 (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 LA 729 (General Mouton Avenue).[20]
LA 728-3 (0.29 miles or 0.47 kilometres) begins at a superstreet intersection with US 90 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 LA 728-2. 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]
