Route description

MS 9W begins at an intersection with MS 9 to the north of Bruce in Calhoun County.[2] The route heads northwest on a two-lane undivided road through a mix of woods and farm fields with a few homes. The road turns to the north and reaches the community of Banner, where the road crosses County Road 275 (CR 275) and CR 267. MS 9W enters a dense forest as it curves northwest again and heads into more agricultural surroundings, coming to a junction with CR 284.[3] After crossing into Lafayette County, the route reaches the community of Paris and intersects the eastern terminus of MS 315 as well as CR 428.[2] Following this intersection, MS 9W passes through several more miles of forests, intersecting CR 371 before reaching its terminus at MS 7 to the south of Oxford.[2][3] MS 9W is legally defined in Mississippi Code § 65-3-3.[4]

History

MS 9W was designated in 1956 for a gravel road connecting MS 9 north of Bruce to MS 7 south of Oxford.[5] By 1960, the entire route was paved.[6] Since then, the route has not undergone any alignment changes.[2]
