Amite, LA to Philadelphia, MS

We are headed to the Pearl River Resort in Philadelphia, MS. We normally travel I-55 N and exit at Hwy 25 in Jackson, MS to Hwy 16.

I was thinking about a different route, I have always noticed Hwy 471 that links I-20 to Hwy 25. This route would allow us to stay on I-20 to Brandon and exit there instead of trying to merge all the way to the left on I-20/55 to get on I-55 North, which could be difficult in heavy traffic.

Just wondering if anyone takes this road and if it is any better or same as Hwy 25 off of I-55.

Thanks
  • I was hoping someone out there had driven this road at least once or lives in the area. Really would like to know how this route is. Google earth shows it and it doesn't look bad, but that isn't always reliable.
  • I guess you're a pioneer. You know what they say about pioneers? They're the guys with the arrows in their backs. LOL

    Good luck!
