The purpose of the EIS was to address the transportation, environmental, and safety issues of such a transportation corridor. The improved connection would improve mobility and access throughout the Jackson metropolitan area and support economic activity. The highway was proposed as a full control of access facility, and appropriate interchanges will be studied at various locations. During the first round of public meetings, it was determined that the public was unanimous in their opposition to this project. In addition, there is no funding available for the construction.
