 Old Highways

 Southern Highways :: US 45 west of Columbus, MS     

Before the US 82 freeway and the Tenn-Tom Waterway were built, US 45 and US 82 merged just west of Columbus. When US 82 was moved to the freeway, a new 4-lane US 45 was built to connect US 45 to the freeway. A short piece of the old US 45 was left to provide access to property owners.


Looking south toward US 45. A trucking company on the left (not pictured) regularly parks trailers on the side of the old road.


Another shot facing south. The old highway connects to the 4-lane on the right.


Facing east toward MS 182 (old US 82). A gravel driveway connects the old highway to MS 182.
