Memorial highways; designate a segment of Mississippi Hwy 32 in Calhoun County as the "Joe Tunnel Memorial Highway."
SB 2629 designates a one-mile segment of Mississippi Highway 32 in Calhoun County (starting at Bruce's eastern city limits) as the "Joe Tunnel Memorial Highway." The bill requires the Mississippi Department of Transportation to install and maintain signs along this segment, effective July 1, 2026. This is a commemorative measure with no policy changes or direct impact on residents, businesses, or state programs - its sole purpose is to honor a local landmark or individual through highway naming.
