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?

In Reply Refer To:HEPH-20
Through: Mr. Andrew H. HughesDivision Administrator
Jackson. MS
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
Upon completion to Interstate standards of U.S. 78 from 1-269 to U.S. 45, the 74.9-milesegment will be eligible for addition to the Interstate System under the provisions ofSection 1105(e)(5)(A).
Section 1105(e)(5)(C)(i) established the route numbering of this future Interstate corridoras 1-22.This segment will become eligible for Mississippi's remaining Interstate Maintenance funds fortheir specified period of availability.
Sincerely,
