Notes: An interesting highway with a "gap" in the form of Stennis Space Center. Active-duty military types can go through the base, but not everyone can.
What I'd Do: Even with the restrictions in Stennis Space Center, I would redesignate the section through the base as MS 607, as well as 4-lane the route all the way up to I-59.
