Sign for Corridor V and U.S. Highway 72 in Alabama

As of 2005, the following portions of Corridor V are not completed:

Between Red Bay, Alabama and Fulton, Mississippi (designated MS 76).
Relocated US 278/MS 6 between Tupelo and Pontotoc, Mississippi.

Both sections of highway are currently under design by the Mississippi Department of Transportation, with the portion that will overlap MS 25 already under construction near Fulton, Mississippi.

Corridor V between Tupelo and Batesville was designated as a Future Interstate Corridor by Congress in 2004; however, it would require significant improvements to be signed as part of the interstate highway system.
