Route description

The route begins at the western terminus and heads east to Falkner, where it runs concurrently with MS 15 and heads south to Ripley. There, it turns east again, leaving MS 15 for a short overlap with MS 2 and MS 4. Leaving the concurrency, it travels south through Dumas to Pleasant Ridge. It then joins MS 30 for a short concurrency between Pleasant Ridge and Graham. The highway then goes southeast to Bethany before turning east to Baldwyn. In Baldwyn, there is a diamond interchange with US Highway 45 (US 45), as well as a 325-foot (99 m) concurrency with MS 145. Leaving Baldwyn, the route turns southeast and ends at its eastern terminus.

Most traffic is along the stretch between Falkner and Ripley. The Mississippi Department of Transportation calculated an average of 14,000 vehicles passing along the route near Ripley.[2] This highway is not included in the National Highway System.[3]
