Major 4 lane connector set to open

DESOTO COUNTY (WCBI) – The final section of Interstate 269 is set to open.  State transportation officials will cut the ribbon on the last 9 mile stretch of the roadway October 26th.

That will cap the 640 million dollar project that provides a four lane interstate from I-55 to I-40 in Tennessee.   The new link will also provide a four lane path to the gaming resorts in Tunica County.
