Representing the first leg of I-69 completed south of Indianapolis, Indiana, I-69 in northern Mississippi opened to traffic following a ribbon cutting ceremony held on October 2, 2006 (Ferguson, 2006). With approval from the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) on May 6, 2008, the designation lengthened to include an overlap with I-55 north to the Tennessee state line.
