Saw the construction for the interchange with U.S. 45 in early June, was wondering what that was all about.  :coffee:

Bing has updated aerials that shows the bypass. Nice to see interchanges with MS-145 and MS-4

Further south, a folded-diamond interchange is being added between U.S. 45 and Euclatubba Road at Saltillo: This also shows up on the Bing aerials.

Both of these were in the works long before I left Mississippi the first time (almost 10 years ago).  The interchange at Euclatubba Rd had long been in the STIP, but the timeframe kept getting pushed to the right.
