The new structure, designed but not constructed, is approximately 22,000 feet in length and will serve as the future I-69 Mississippi River crossing.

The portion of Corridor V [US 278 / MS 6] of the Appalachian development highway system from Interstate Route 55 near Batesville, Mississippi, to the intersection with Corridor X [US 78] of the Appalachian development highway system near Fulton, Mississippi.

Restates the priorities in Corridors 10 and 11.
