Interstate 510 (abbreviated I-510) is a short spur route of Interstate 10 within in eastern New Orleans, Louisiana, United States. It runs south from Interstate 10, intersects with U.S. Highway 90, and ends at the Almonaster Boulevard interchange, near the NASA Michoud Assembly Facility. From this point the highway continues south over the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway/Mississippi River Gulf Outlet on the Green Bridge.

The Interstate spur route is a portion of Paris Road, a New Orleans metropolitan area roadway stretching from the Mississippi River to Lake Pontchartrain dating back to the 19th century. The portion designated I-510 is entirely within the Ninth Ward of New Orleans, though the area the highway runs through is locally known as New Orleans East.

Interstate 510 is concurrent with Louisiana Highway 47 for its entire routing. The spur serves the NASA facility, the St. Bernard Parish seat of Chalmette (though the Interstate portion ends a few miles north of the city, the highway continues as Paris Road) and the former Six Flags New Orleans.

I-510, which was completed in the mid-1990s, was once planned as part of a longer Interstate 410 that would have also incorporated Interstate 310 around the southern section of the New Orleans metropolitan area. [http://www.kurumi.com/roads/3di/i510.html#510la]
