HB 1821 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Appropriation; Yazoo County to begin planning, design and construction of a 4-lane highway connecting Hwy 16 from Hwy 49 to I-55.

HB 1821 allocated $4 million from the state general fund to Yazoo County's Board of Supervisors for the initial planning, design, and construction of a new 4-lane highway connecting Mississippi Highway 16 (from U.S. Highway 49) to Interstate 55. The funding was intended for the 2025-2026 fiscal year to advance this infrastructure project, primarily benefiting Yazoo County residents and commuters traveling between these routes. The bill specified that state funds would cover costs associated with starting the project, not full construction. However, the bill died in committee on February 26, 2025, and did not become law.
