[edit] Past Improvements

As of June 28, 2006, 150 miles of continuous four-lane divided highway is open between Starkville, Mississippi and Jackson, Mississippi. The last leg to open was the 11.9-mile, $27-million section from the intersection of Highway 19 north of Louisville, Mississippi to Noxapater Creek in Winston County. This is one of the culminations of the 1987 Four-Lane Highway Program (commonly referred to as AHEAD Program) for improving Mississippi roadways.

On May 10, 2006 the next-to-last leg, a 10.1-mile, $23-million section, opened from the Oktibbeha County line west into Winston County.

[edit] Future Improvements

All of Highway 25, except for the portion between West Point, Mississippi and Fulton, Mississippi will be an at least four-lane divided highway by the mid-2010's, per Mississippi House Bill 725 of the 1998 session.
