American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials An Application from the State Highway or Transportation Department of Mississippi for:
Elimination of a U.S. (Interstate) Route AASHTO Use
Only Establishment of a U.S. (Interstate) Route I-22 Action taken by SCOH: Extension of a U.S. (Interstate)Route Relocation of a U.S. (Interstate) Route Establishment of a U.S. Alternate Route
Establishment of a Temporary U.S. Route
**Recognition of a Business Route on U.S. (Interstate) Route
**Recognition of a By-Pass Route on U.S. Route
Between Future I-269 and Alabama State Line
The following states or states are involved:
Mississippi
**“Recognition of…”A local vicinity map needed on page 3. On page 6 a short statement to the effect that there are no deficiencies on proposed routing, if true, will suffice.
If there are deficiencies, they should be indicated in accordance with page 5 instructions. All applications requesting Interstate establishment or changes are subject to concurrence and
approval by the FHWA
DATE SUBMITTED: March 30, 2015 SUBMIT APPLICATION ELECTRONICALLY TO usroutes@aashto.org
*Bike Routes: this form is not applicable for US Bicycle Route System
2
The purpose of the United States (U.S.) Numbered Highway System is to facilitate travel on the main interstate highways, over the shortest routes and the best available roads. A route should form continuity of available facilities through two or more states that accommodate the most important and heaviest motor traffic flow in the area.
The routes comprising the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways will be marked with its own distinctive route marker shield and will have a numbering system that is separate and apart from the U.S. Numbered Highway System. For the convenience of the motorist, there must be continuity and a uniform pattern of marking and numbering these Interstate routes without regard to state lines.
The U.S. Numbered System was established in 1926 and the Interstate Numbered System was established in 1956. Both have reached the period of review, revision, and consolidation. They now need perfecting rather than expansion. Therefore, any proposed alteration in the established systems should be extremely meritorious and thoroughly, though concisely, explained in order that the Special Committee on U.S. Route Numbering and the Standing Committee on Highways of the Association may give prompt and proper consideration to each and every request made by a member department.
Explanation and Reasons for the Request: (Keep concise and pertinent.)
MDOT requests approval to sign US 78 from future I-269 to the Alabama state Line as I-22. This 106.7 mile
section of roadway meets all interstate standards and will connect to I-22 in Alabama.
Date facility available to traffic Currently available to traffic. Does the petition propose a new routing over a portion of an existing U.S. Route? yes If so, where? The new routing of US 78, proposed Interstate I-22, will begin at future Interstate I-269 in Desoto County, Mississippi southeasterly for 106.7 miles to the end of the route at the Alabama State Line. Does the petition propose a new routing over a portion of an existing Interstate Route? no If so, where?

Instructions for Preparation of Page 6 Column 1: Control Points and Mileage. Top of column is one terminus of road. Indicate control points by identical
number as shown on map on page 3. Show mileage between control points in miles and tenths. Column 2: Pavement Type. Code High type, heavy duty H
Intermediate type I Low type, dustless L (show in red) Not paved N (show in red)
Column 3: Pavement Condition Code
Excellent E Good G Fair F (show in red) Poor P (show in red)
NOTE: In columns 2 and 3, where pavements types and conditions change, the location of the change shall be indicated by a short horizontal line at the proper place opposite the mileage log and the proper code letter (shown above) shall be entered in the respective column between the locations so indicated. Column 4: Traffic. Indicate average daily traffic volumes in this column. Points of changes in these data to

Columns 5 & 6 Pavement Width and Shoulder Width. These columns to be completed by comparing standards
of highway involved with applicable AASHTO standards. Entries that fall to the right of the tolerance lines (dashed) should be shaded in red. If there are no deficiencies indicate by use of the word NONE.
Columns 7 & 8 Major Structures. Show in these columns those structures that do not meet AASHTO standards.
Show by horizontal line sufficiently long to indicate percentage of deficiency. Portion on right of tolerance line shall be shown in red. Indicate length of structure in feet immediately under the line. Any sub-standard highway underpass structure shall be shown opposite the appropriate mileage point by the designation LP with the vertical clearance in feet following and shown in red. If there are no deficiencies indicate by the use of the word NONE.
Column 9: Vertical Sight Distance. Items to be shown in this column as a horizontal line, the length of
which will indicate the deficiency as determined in accordance with comparisons with comparable AASHTO standards. Portions of the line past the tolerance line shall be shown in red.
Column 10: Horizontal Curvature. Curves in excess of AASHTO applicable standards to be shown in this
column by a short horizontal line with degree of curve shown immediately above the line. To be shown in red.
Column 11 Percent Grades. Show by horizontal lines opposite proper mileage point on mileage log. Show
percent of grade above the line and length of grade in feet immediately below. To be shown in red.

Thank you for your letter requesting that U.S. 78 from U.S. 45 to the Mississippi/Alabama StateLine be added to the Interstate Systemas 1-22. This segment is part of the 1-22 corridor that wasdesignated a future part of the Interstate System by Section 1105(e)(5) of the Intermodal SurfaceTransportation Efficiency Act of 1991, as amended.
Our Mississippi DivisionOffice confirms that the 31.1-mile segmentof U.S. 78 from U.S. 45 tothe Mississippi/Alabama State Line has been completed to Interstate standards and meets astatutory requirement by planning to connect to an existing Interstate System segment byOctober 1, 2037. The 74.9-mile segment of U.S. 78 from future 1-269 to U.S. 45 is projected tobe completed to Interstatestandards by December 2018, connecting the remainder of theproposed route to the existing System. I find the requirements of Section 1105(e)(5)(A) havebeen satisfied and hereby approve the addition of the 31.1-mile segment to the Interstate Systemas follows:
1-22 from U.S. 45 to the Mississippi/Alabama State Line
