From Wikipedia:
Interstate 55 (I-55) is a major north-south Interstate Highway that serves the middle of the United States. It runs 963.5 miles (1,550.6 km) from Interstate 10 in Laplace, Louisiana - about 25 miles (40 km) west of New Orleans to U.S. 41 in Chicago, Illinois. In Mississippi, it runs for about 290.41 miles (467.37 km), entering the state at the Louisiana state line near Osyka and leaving at the Tennessee state line near Southaven, just south of Memphis.
The highway parallels US 51 during its trek roughly through the center of the Magnolia State. North of Jackson, the Interstate runs east of the bluffs of the Mississippi Delta.
Near Summit and McComb, the interstate is concurrent with US 98 for five miles as it passes through the western side of the cities. I-55 then intersects US 84 near Brookhaven, and becomes concurrent with US 51 near Crystal Springs. In Jackson, the highway is concurrent with I-20 for three exits, and US 51 leaves the concurrency after I-55's concurrency with I-20 begins. I-55 continues north on the eastern side of Jackson, and meets the northern terminus of I-220 near Ridgeland. The highway then parallels US 51 until the U.S. route crosses over to the western side of the interstate in Grenada. I-55 intersects US 278 at Batesville, and it becomes concurrent with I-69 north of Hernando. The highway crosses the state line north of Southaven into Tennessee.

For whatever reason, these sounds are so soothing

I'm 100% with ya buddy! As an autistic man, white noise is very calming and decompressing for my mind.

[@JeanEDeaux]

Jackson has the “bones” and for sure the potential to become a much bigger and better city. I’d love to see a successful and booming Jackson, Mississippi in my lifetime. All love 4 MS. ❤

Awesome drive along I 55 South in Jackson MS, the state capital. Love the city it's very nice.

[@OutdoorsWithShawn]

Good ole "Waterworks Curve" 7:00 Guaranteed to have an accident on the northbound side every Friday morning or afternoon. The Stack at 9:00 claimed a life when being erected. Gentlemen fell from the very top. There's days I'd rather be driving in rush hour traffic in ATL than drive the I-20 I-55 section. I'll be glad when they get that whole interchange done too.

[@OutdoorsWithShawn]

@vickie west some days I knew better and got off on High St exit, catch State St to Lakeland Dr and got back on 55N. There are things I miss about living in the area. The jacked up roads and traffic aren't one of them.

7:12-7:16 is where you will find something flipped over or being towed out of the median on the left hand side two to three times a week on the way to work. Don't let it rain that week.

Great video of I-55, Mike! First time actually seeing the interstate in Mississippi. Also, in 8:31, kinda sounds like Texas concrete.

[@MileageMikeTravels]

Thanks

[@tumbleweed57]

And it sounds like it has for more than 30 years! The thumps and the tires clicking over the transition. It is soothing.

Jackson Ms also know as ''Jack town'' with 153 homicides in December 2021 My advice for those passing through or vacationing, DO NOT stop to refuel , get your gas in Ridgeland BYPASS Jackson exits next safest area is south of Jackson in Byram The bloodshed has driven the state capital’s homicide rate to 97.6 murders per 100,000 residents, 15 times higher than the US rate of 6.5

He was the Governor of Mississippi. He authored the MS Constitution after the Civil War during Reconstruction when Mississippi rejoined The United States.
