Summary[edit]
| Description |
Interstate 55 (I - 55) is an Interstate Highway in the central United States. Its odd number indicates that it is a north-south Interstate Highway. I - 55 goes from Laplace, Louisiana (25 miles (40 kilometers) west of New Orleans) at Interstate 10 to Chicago at U.S. Route 41 (Lake Shore Drive), at McCormick Place. The section of I-55 between Chicago and St. Louis was built as an alternate route for U.S. Highway 66. I-55 is the only Interstate Highway that crosses the Mississippi River twice: once at Memphis, Tennessee, and again at St. Louis, Missouri. In 2009, officials in Green Bay, Wisconsin, began a campaign to have U.S. Highway 41 in that area designated as I-55. A section of U.S.-41 in Wisconsin is in the process of being rebuilt as an Interstate Highway. Some local officials in the Green Bay area think that designating U.S. 41 as Interstate 55 would bring additional attention to that area. The main alternative is designating that highway as a spur of I - 43. (Sourced from the Green Bay Press Gazette 02-08-09). In Mississippi, I - 55 runs 290.5 miles (467.5 km) from the Louisiana border near Osyka, Mississippi to Southaven on the Tennessee border, just south of Memphis. Noteworthy cities and towns that I - 55 passes through or close by to are McComb, Jackson, and Grenada. This highway parallels U.S. 51 in its path roughly through the center of Mississippi. The Mississippean section of I - 55 is defined in the Mississippi Code § 65-3-3. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-55 |
