MS 302:
MS 302 is a 4-lane arterial / expressway between US 78 and US 72. West of US 78, it is a 5-7-lane
boulevard. The boulevard used to be 5-lanes for the entire distance. The
widening between US 61 and MS 301 is underway, and Horn Lake is planning to
widen MS 302 to seven lanes from US 51 to Horn Lake Creek (and expand the bridge
over Horn Lake Creek). The right turn lanes in Horn Lake have been converted to
general-use lanes from Horn Lake Creek to Interstate Boulevard, thus creating
seven lanes. See
LordSutch.com for more information.
