SUMMARY: Mississippi leaders have started construction on a new road project in Madison County. The project involves building 1.3 miles of two-lane roadway from Parkway East to U.S. Highway 51. The new road, called Reunion Parkway, will eventually connect I-55, U.S. 51, and Bozeman Road, providing an east/west corridor to accommodate new homes, schools, and economic development opportunities. The project will be completed in three phases, with this phase expected to finish in spring 2025. The construction includes new bridges over Bear Creek and the CN Railroad, as well as the addition of bicycle lanes on both sides of the road.
