| Eastbound Interstate 20/southbound U.S. 49 at Exit 42A/B for
Ellis Avenue. This local thoroughfare serves the Jackson State University area and becomes Belvedere Drive
to the south. Photo taken 04/14/02.
|
| Interstate 20 east/U.S. 49 south splits with Interstate 55
southbound traffic in this photograph. Traffic destined for the Terry Road (Exits 43A/B) must also exit the
mainline of the freeway, as the interchange is adjacent to the Interstate 55 merge. To the east along
Interstate 20, Interstate 55 northbound joins the fold, with the three highways continuing to Exit 96.

| Eastbound on the ramp to Interstate 55 south at Exit 43A
for Terry Road southbound. The sign bridge in place has Exit 43B signage for Terry Road north and signage
for the upcoming transition to Interstate 55. McDowell Road is included on the left-hand panel due to the
proximity of that interchange (Exit 92) of Interstate 55 south. Photo taken 04/14/02.
|
| Eastbound on the triplex where U.S. 51 northbound departs
to downtown. Exit 45 begins a short expressway segment of U.S. 51, with an interchange to Gallatin Street,
that stems into downtown Jackson at State Street. The next exit is the split of the two Interstates at
"The Stack". Photo taken 04/14/02.
|
| The ramp from Interstate 55 north to Interstate 20 east
merges with the mainline just before the ramp for Exit 47A/U.S. 49 south. The control cities of Richland
and Flowood (Exit 47B) refer to the immediate Jackson suburbs. U.S. 49 south also serves the suburb of
Florence south at Mississippi 469. Photo taken 04/14/02.

| The southern terminus of U.S. 49 at U.S. 90. The last three blocks of U.S. 49 sees on-street parking within the downtown area. Various shops and other businesses are located nearby.
