===Mississippi=== [[File:Interstate 22 eastbound at Potts Camp, Mississippi.jpg|thumb|Eastbound I-22/US 78 in [[Potts Camp, Mississippi]]]] I-22 begins at a [[cloverleaf interchange]] with [[Interstate 269|I-269]] just west of [[Byhalia, Mississippi|Byhalia]] in [[DeSoto County, Mississippi|DeSoto County]] in northwestern [[Mississippi]] in the [[Memphis metropolitan area|far southeastern suburbs of Memphis]]. It is concurrent with [[U.S. Route 78 in Mississippi|US 78]], which is a four-lane freeway through its entire length in Mississippi and the exit numbers for its overlap with I-22 remain based on its mileage. I-22/US 78 then continues southeastward into [[Marshall County, Mississippi|Marshall County]] parallel to [[Mississippi Highway 178]] (MS 178; the former alignment of US 78) with latter route providing local access to small towns along the route. The first major community the freeway passes is [[Holly Springs, Mississippi|Holly Springs]], the county seat of Marshall County. I-22/US 78 bypasses the city to the southwest; exits 26 (Landfill Road) and 30 ([[Mississippi Highway 4|MS 4]]/[[Mississippi Highway 7|MS 7]]) provide access to the city. Continuing southeastward, the freeway than passes through the [[Holly Springs National Forest]] and into [[Benton County, Mississippi|Benton County]] passing near several small towns that are accessible through interchanges with or connecting to MS 178. Upon exiting the forest into [[Union County, Mississippi|Union County]], I-22/US 78 approaches the county seat of [[New Albany, Mississippi|New Albany]] before passing just southwest of it with four exits (60, 61, 63, and 64) providing direct access to the city. [[Mississippi Highway 30|MS 30]] shares a brief concurrency with I-22/US 78 between exits 61 and 64 with the latter exit being at [[Mississippi Highway 15|MS 15]]. To the southeast of the city near the town of [[Sherman, Mississippi|Sherman]] in [[Pontotoc County, Mississippi|Pontotoc County]], I-22/US 78 has a second brief concurrency with [[Mississippi Highway 9|MS 9]] starting between the exits 73 and 76. Exit 73 is a six-ramp [[partial cloverleaf interchange]], the first non-diamond interchange on the freeway since its starting point at I-269, a distance of about {{convert|61.2|mi|km}}. I-22/US 78 then enters [[Lee County, Mississippi|Lee County]] and passes north of [[Tupelo, Mississippi|Tupelo]], its county seat, with five exits (81, 82, 85, 86, and 87) connecting to the city, including an interchange with MS 178 (exit 81) northwest of Tupelo along with interchanges with the [[Natchez Trace Parkway]] (exit 85) and [[U.S. Route 45|US 45]]/[[Appalachian Development Highway System#Corridor V|Corridor V]] (exit 86) north of the city with Corridor V becoming concurrent with I-22/US 78. The freeway then turns eastward and has an interchange with [[Mississippi Highway 371|MS 371]] north of [[Mooreville, Mississippi|Mooreville]] before crossing into [[Itawamba County, Mississippi|Itawamba County]]. I-22/US 78/Corridor V then has an interchange with MS 178 (to [[Mississippi Highway 363|MS 363]]) in [[Peppertown, Mississippi|Peppertown]] before crossing the [[Tennessee–Tombigbee Waterway]] to its next interchange with South Adams Street (exit 104), which provides access to the community of [[Fulton, Mississippi|Fulton]], the county seat. [[Mississippi Highway 25|MS 25]] becomes concurrent with I-22/US 78/Corridor V and heads eastward along the route at the exit as well. A weigh station is also just beyond the exit. One exit later (108), MS 25 and Corridor V branch off and head northward. I-22/US 78 then turns east-southeastward with one final interchange (exit 113) with [[Mississippi Highway 23|MS 23]] south of [[Tremont, Mississippi|Tremont]] before crossing into [[Alabama]].{{cn|date=November 2024}}
