Best route from Little Rock?

[Minnie]

We've gone both routes many times, and it's a toss up, depending on construction. The last times we went through Memphis, it was the pits around there, and the first few miles on 78 towards Tupelo......it's never been a major slowdown going through Vicksburg, Jackson and Mobile, though. Thanks for everyone's input.

Agree, I would not want to come into Memphis from Little Rock and have to deal with bridge traffic and downtown traffic and not sure how you went to 78 but if you caught it right in Memphis, then yes the truck traffic is horrible.

We live in East Memphis and pick up 78 off the Nonconnah parkway at Hack's Cross road or even Byhalia road which is about halfway to Holly Springs, Ms.

Of course we travel to the beach during the off seasons, so we avoid almost all the Destin/98 traffic.

We don't take the bridge at Mobile we take the tunnel. We come in on the toll bridge to 98 at Destin Commons, avoiding 331.



Mid-bay bridge onto Hwy 98 east, you're still getting yourself into Destin traffic. I don't know what's worst Destin or Freeport Traffic?


Lady D- it's not exit 84 ( I don't remember the exit #), it's the exit at Evergreen that takes you onto Hwy 84 over to Hwy 55. Just 1 or 2 exit south of Georgiana.

Oops! Sorry I mean Hwy 84.

Minnie, that is the way we go. The first year we took Hacks Cross Rd. to 78, but after that we have gone Byhalia Rd., as we will this year.
