Interstate 269 is an Interstate Highway in the US state of Mississippi. Together with Interstate 269 in Tennessee, the freeway forms a partial ring road around the city of Memphis and its suburbs. The Mississippi route is 42 kilometers long.
Travel directions
I-269 begins as a continuation of Interstate 69 from Tunica, its starting point is at the interchange with I-55 near Hernando. I-269 has 2×2 lanes and runs east through the sparsely built- up Memphis exurbs that are located in Mississippi. The highway has numerous local exits but does not directly serve larger suburbs. Near Byhalia, a cloverleaf trail follows I-22, after which the highway turns more north through wooded areas. Then the border with the state of Tennessee follows, after which Interstate 269 in Tennessee continues north around the eastern suburbs of Memphis.
History
Memphis originally only had a minor beltway around its urban core, Interstate 240 in Tennessee. Over the years, the suburban area has grown well beyond I-240, and today the vast majority of the urban area is outside I-240. That is why a second ring road was necessary, this became I-269, as an auxiliary route of Interstate 69. I-269 passes through both Tennessee and Mississippi.
On October 3, 2006, the westernmost portion of the beltway that is part of I-69 opened. This section runs from US 61 to I-55 southwest of Memphis. In 2007, funding was secured to purchase the right-of-way I-269 between the Tennessee border and I-55 at Hernando. Construction of I-269 formally began on June 23, 2011. On October 23, 2015, the first 3.6 miles between State Route 302 and the Tennessee border opened east of Olive Branch. Subsequently, on December 5, 2017, a 23-kilometer stretch from MS-302 to MS-305 that forms the southeastern portion of the Memphis bypass, including the interchange with I-22, was opened. The remaining portion between I-55 and State Route 305 opened on October 26, 2018.
