Froggie's Notes:
- MS 4 was recently
realigned in Senatobia to follow the northern "Bypass Rd". The goal was to
reduce the number of trucks on central Senatobia's narrow streets.
- A new interchange is under construction along I-55 south of MS 4, presumably
for a Senatobia bypass for MS 4.
- Some sort of Holly Springs bypass is apparently under construction, running
from US 78 west of town to MS 4 northeast of town. I don't have any
further information on this at present.
Froggie Suggests:
- Decommission the
segment west of US 61, and along the US 61 duplex.
- Expedite construction of a 4-lane expressway Senatobia bypass, with minimum
termini of the Arkabutla Creek bridge and New Town.
- Widen to 4 lanes along the duplex with MS 7.
