"The route runs 20.087 mi (32.327 km) from MS 9 north of Bruce, Calhoun County north to MS 7 south of Oxford, Lafayette County." - this is hard to read. Are some commas or semicolons needed?

Fixed. Dough 48 72 00:02, 16 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"designated onto its current alignment in 1956" - is that the way it's said? or should it be just "to its current alignment"? or some other wording?

Reworded. Dough 48 72 00:02, 16 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Mississippi Highway 9W (MS 9W) is a state highway located in northern Mississippi. The route runs 20.087 mi (32.327 km) from MS 9 north of Bruce in Calhoun County and heads north to MS 7 south of Oxford in Lafayette County."

Do you mean MS 9 starts north of Bruce in Calhoun County and then heads north to MS 7 which is south of Oxford in Lafayette County?
Do you mean that MS 7 is south of Oxford in Lafayette County? Or do you man that MS 7 heads north to MS 7, then south of Oxford in Lafayette?

Sorry for being confusing. MathewTownsend (talk) 13:36, 16 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Reworded to clearly indicate where southern and northern termini are. Dough 48 72 16:38, 16 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

ok, it's clearer. MathewTownsend (talk) 17:44, 16 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
