The contract was let in
March 2003.
Groundbreaking on the

25, 2002. Phase one,
from MS 311 east to MS
4, will be completed
summer 2003. Phase two,
which goes from US 78
west of town to MS 311,
is currently under ROW
purchase. The highway
will have limited access
ROW near intersections,
but not along the entire
bypass. There will be an
overpass over MS 178.
The highway is being
built as a super-2. |

A Louisville Bypass is planned. Engineering began in 2005. This project is in the STIP for ROW purchase. A proposed routing for the bypass runs from MS 25 north of town to MS 14 east of town.
MS 15:
One interesting project on MS 15 right now is the construction of an expressway through Stone and Perry Counties. No current alignment of MS 15 exists there. The new highway will pretty much go straight south from Beaumont, entering Stone County 6 miles east of MS 29. It will then curve southwest to the current north ending of the MS 15 2-lane road at MS 26. South of that, existing MS 15 will be widened.

It has been stalled

rerouted along a new
freeway to the west of
the city. Some right of
way for the bypass was
purchased in the
mid-70’s, but funding
concerns led
construction to be
halted and the right of
way to be resold.
Support for construction
of the bypass has
resurfaced recently, and
a traffic study
currently underway may
support construction of
the new highway, which
