'''Interstate 220''' ('''I-220''') in [[Mississippi]] is a loop around [[Jackson, Mississippi|Jackson]] that provides an Interstate connection for [[Interstate 55 in Mississippi|I-55]] and [[Interstate 20 in Mississippi|I-20]]. The northern terminus for the route is in the suburb of [[Ridgeland, Mississippi|Ridgeland]], at exit 104 on I-55. The highway was Mississippi's first auxiliary Interstate, complete by 1981.

Traffic heading to and from the city's western side can use this route. By avoiding Downtown Jackson, it also offers a different route for those traveling from I-55 south to I-20 west and from I-20 east to I-55 north.

The southern terminus for the route is in western Jackson at I-20, exit 41. The route is {{convert|12|mi|km}} long. Although control cities of North Jackson and West Jackson are used at the southern and northern terminuses, respectively, no control cities are used along the interior length of the route (including guide signs at interchanges). Secondary signs at the terminuses direct drivers to use the route as a shortcut to [[Memphis, Tennessee]], and [[Vicksburg, Mississippi|Vicksburg]].

==Route description==
I-220 begins at a [[directional T interchange]] with [[Interstate 20 in Mississippi|I-20]] on the west side of Jackson. Its exits start with a [[partial cloverleaf interchange]] for [[U.S. Route 80 in Mississippi|US Highway 80]] (US 80) west toward [[Clinton, Mississippi|Clinton]] and east toward [[Pearl, Mississippi|Pearl]]. As this Interstate runs, it also runs concurrently with [[U.S. Route 49 in Mississippi|US 49]] as it passes through a partial cloverleaf interchange with Clinton Boulevard and Capitol Street, a [[diamond interchange]] with Industrial Drive, and then making its way toward its own partial cloverleaf interchange with Medgar Evers Boulevard, making its departure from I-220 north, and I-220 south is concurrent with US 49 south for the remainder of its route going south. I-220 north then makes its interchanges with Watkins Drive, Hanging Moss Road/Highland Colony Parkway, and then terminates at a directional T interchange with [[Interstate 55 in Mississippi|I-55]] south, going past a short part of [[Ridgeland, Mississippi|Ridgeland]] and back into Jackson, and north going to [[Grenada, Mississippi|Grenada]] and [[Memphis, Tennessee]].

==History==
{{Expand section|date=May 2014}}
[[File:Jackson, Mississippi 1955 Yellow Book.jpg|left|thumb|A proposed bypass around Jackson in the ''Yellow Book'']]
The Interstate was first planned in 1971 and was completed by 1981.<ref>{{cite web|title=3-digit Interstates from I-20|url=http://www.kurumi.com/roads/3di/ix20.html#220ms|publisher=Kurumi|accessdate=May 4, 2014|date=February 20, 2005}}{{sps|certain=yes|date=March 2017}}</ref>

A new interchange opened to traffic on I-220 in 2004. This $13.4-million (equivalent to ${{Formatprice|{{Inflation|US-GDP|13400000|2004}}}} in {{Inflation/year|index=US-GDP}}{{Inflation/fn|index=US-GDP}}) project completed a diamond interchange constructed at Industrial Drive between the Clinton Boulevard and US 49 north junctions. The project also resulted in the expansion of I-220 from four to six lanes from Clinton Boulevard (exits 2A and 2B) northward to Industrial Drive.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.aaroads.com/interstate-guide/i-220-ms/|title=Interstate-Guide: Interstate 220 Mississippi|access-date=2017-03-29|language=en}}{{sps|certain=yes|date=March 2017}}</ref>
