I will be going thru Memphis soon east to west. I usually go 72 to 385 to 55. Lots of traffic and needing re paving. Could go 72 to 302 to 55. How is traffic on 302?
MapQuest says you can save 90 miles by going US-65 out of Little Rock to I-20 east to I-55 south at Jackson MS. (New Orleans 530 miles via Memphis, 440 via US-65).
