Interstate 20 in Mississippi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Interstate 20 is a major thoroughfare through central Mississippi, connecting the area with major metropolitan areas, including Dallas, Texas, Atlanta, Georgia and Birmingham, Alabama.
[edit] Route Description
In Mississippi, I-20 goes across the central section of the state, running 154.5 miles. The highway enters the state from Louisiana at Vicksburg after crossing the Mississippi River.
Between Vicksburg and Jackson, I-20 is multiplexed with U.S. 80 for much of the distance as the highway runs over much of U.S. 80's original route.
In Jackson, I-20 briefly merges with Interstate 55 before separating just east of the Pearl River at Exit 46. From Jackson, I-20 continues eastward through the rural areas of east-central Mississippi before reaching Meridian, Mississippi. It is at Meridian where Interstate 59 joins I-20. From here, the two highways run concurrently through the city and continues conjoined until they reach Birmingham.
Also, when I-59 joins I-20, I-59's mileage takes over I-20's.
