--- Quote from: Steve on August 07, 2012, 07:13:44 PM ---Now my question, which I don't think has an answer yet - Is this piece of I-269 what will finally get I-22 signed? (Or will the I-65 connection beat it to the punch?)
--- End quote ---
I'm hoping the answer is neither; since MAP-21 now allows signage of disconnected segments, all of Alabama's open segments are interstate grade, and most of Mississippi's segments are interstate grade (with the final three upgrade projects all expected to be completed by November 2013), then I hope to see applications from both ALDOT and MDOT for immediate signage in time for the November 15 AASHTO Special Committee on Route Numbering meeting. Why wait? I-22 signage by New Year's Day!
FTR - the I-22/I-269 interchange is targeted for a June 18, 2015 completion date, roughly eight months after the targeted October 15, 2014 completion date for the I-22/ I-65 interchange:

Finally, to whet the appetite for future roadgeeking opportunities afforded by the above projects, this TV video report has some footage of construction equipment pushing some dirt around on the second MDOT I-269 project, in Desoto County. Can Memphis Road Meet II be too far off in the future?

Something about I-22- for some time from 2010 to now US 78 was labeled as I-22 by Google Maps, now Google Maps left it as US 78 again.

Yeah, Google loves to post "Future" interstates, especially if there is "Future Corridor" signage along said route. However, can't explain why the I-22 shields are gone now. Maybe somebody somehow sneaked an edit in that amazingly got past the reviewers there at Google to strip the I-22 shields till it's posted as an official Interstate.
