Just before crossing into the south end of town, the pre-1955 route made a brief jog eastward onto a parallel road. After about 0.5 miles (0.80 km), it made a second jog back onto the current alignment at Frey Road. The route then continued into Welsh, where it turned west onto Derouen Street then north onto Adams Street, continuing straight across US 90 onto the current alignment. This part of the route was smoothed out shortly after the
816:
to proceed north onto Adams Street. The route of LA 99 has otherwise remained the same to the present day. However, a major improvement occurred when I-10 was constructed through the area in the early 1960s. The interstate was opened to traffic westward from Welsh to US 165 in Iowa in
December 1963, partially opening the interchange with LA 99. The interchange was completed with the opening of the section from Welsh eastward to Jennings the following spring.

The route through Welsh was changed less than a year following the 1955 renumbering. LA 99 now proceeded due north from LA 1126 directly to US 90 via
Simmons Street. This eliminated several right-angle turns along the route but also necessitated a brief jog onto US 90 in order
