McDonoghville: US 90B at Terry Parkway
The Mississippi River defines the setting of McDonoghville — its broad curve separates this West Bank community from central New Orleans and channels movement along the river’s southern shore. US 90 Business runs through the area on the elevated Westbank Expressway, with Terry Parkway forming a major local interchange. This corridor links West Bank neighbourhoods with the Crescent City Connection and the wider New Orleans road network. McDonoghville’s name recalls John McDonogh, a New Orleans merchant and philanthropist whose former landholdings shaped this part of Jefferson Parish. Low-rise commercial strips, apartment blocks and residential streets give the district a distinctly metropolitan, rather than downtown, character.
