Paved roads and an electric streetcar could be found within the city limits by the 1920s, and after World War II the region experienced further development and subsequent growth.

I-10 runs through the heart of Metairie from east to west, and both Route 90 and the Earhart Expressway both zig-zag across the city as well.
