Little Rock, AR to Jackson, MS

We will be traveling from Little Rock to the Gulf Coast area of Alabama and were concerned about the route between Little Rock and Jackson. Is US 65 the best route or is there a better route for a class A? Any four lane highways? Thanks
  • This is the route I would use.

  • You can run 65 all the way down to I-20 in Louisiana. Not a bad road through small town America and farm lands. You can also stop in historic Vicksburg on your way east towards Jackson

    Could do what I do. I open up Google Maps and drop that little dude onto the highway in several places. Mostly in towns that the US highway takes me thru the middle or and places where there is a left hand turn to see if there is a traffic light and/or turn lane.
