Interstate 110 (Mississippi)
Encyclopedia
Interstate 110 is a 4.1 miles (6.6 km) freeway spur route in Biloxi
, running south from Interstate 10
to U.S. Route 90
. It is one of very few places on the Interstate Highway System
utilizing a drawbridge
. The southbound control city is Biloxi, with a series of bridges out over the Gulf of Mexico
at the southern terminus. There is no northbound control city; the road is marked with trailblazers reading "TO I-10" instead. It was entirely multiplexed with Mississippi Highway 15, until Mississippi 15 was truncated to I-10.
The route of I-110 is defined in Mississippi Code Annotated § 65-3-3.
I-110 begins at an interchange with US 90 on the Gulf of Mexico
in Biloxi
. The ramps to and from US 90 eastbound pass over the Gulf of Mexico and the beach. From US 90, the ramps from eastbound US 90 and from westbound US 90 merge and the route heads north as a four-lane freeway through residential and commercial areas, passing over a CSX railroad line. The highway comes to a southbound exit and northbound entrance serving Division Street. Farther north, I-110 comes to a southbound exit and northbound entrance with Bayview Avenue. After this, the freeway crosses the Biloxi Bay on a drawbridge
into D'Iberville
. Here, the road comes to a diamond interchange
with Rodriguez Street and continues north through areas of homes and businesses. I-110 reaches its northern terminus at a cloverleaf interchange
with I-10
, at which point the road continues north as MS 15/MS 67
