I 20 MS and LA

It is also a matter of the type of roughness, not just potholes or expansion joints, rather the pavement segments undulate over distances about a car length. Just about the right wavelength to be constantly tossing you up and down, as opposed to sharp bumps and banging noise, though the expansion joints do that too.

I've found other roads to get me across Mississippi, and generally avoid Louisiana entirely if my destination permits.

Has I-20 from Jackson,ms. west into Texas improved any?

Going thru Vicksburg is rough, Monroe, La. is very rough, and from Bossier City all the way to Texas is rough. I think the smoothest part of I-20 is from the west side of the Mississippi River Bridge at Vicksburg on to Monroe.

It is now only slightly worse than the road between Kabul and the Kiber Pass.

It might be just me, but the last time I drove I-20 around 6 months ago to the DFW area and back, the roughest part of I-20 was Between Jackson and Vicksburg west bound, east bound was not to bad. This was solo in my tow vehicle a 3500 Dodge DRW just my take on I-20.

Well we were planning to get on near Shreveport and run it to Jackson, MS then to I55, guess we will look at something different!

Roughest roads for interstate I've driven. Parts of it will throw you into the bed of your pickup and I have airride. I'll take I 40 any day across AR and TN. I 40 in E OK is bad but I ran from Stroud OK to Muskogee and down.

I certainly agree with you. I20 is bad enough here in Bossier City but it is even worse in Monroe just east of here. You were lucky...just passing through and I have to live here....
