Seems like it's been moved back to the Tunica/DeSoto County Line again (where it was originally). It had been posted just barely North of the old MS-304 intersections as seen in StreetView.
Has anybody been in that area recently? |

Or not? The date on these images is September 2007.
Is this about when the terminus was located there before? |

When I-69 was first opened (the segment that is co-signed with MS-713), the end was posted @ the Tunica/DeSoto County Line.
Then later in 2007, MDOT moved the signs farther South to just about the intersection with the old route of MS-304.
Now it seems that they have decided to move the signs back to the original location at the Tunica/DeSoto County Line.
Weird, eh?
And I got this info from Chris Lawrence on OSM. Here's exactly what he told me in a message:
| Quote: | | Begin/End I-69 signs (giant green guide signs) were posted at the county line as of December 22, 2011. I'm afraid I didn't get a photo, though. |
Also, check out StateEnds for some pictures that talk about the location change of the signs in 2007. Go to the "Former Southern Terminus (#2)" section first, then check out the "Current Southern Terminus (#3)" section. |

| Aah, gotcha. D'oh - I skimmed your first post, and failed to realize you said GMSV shows the now-former terminus. |

| Do "Interstate standards" allow an Interstate to end at a non-intersection at a county line? |
