The Airport Parkway is a proposed major highway development project in the Jackson, Mississippi, metropolitan area that will connect Interstate 55 (I-55) in downtown Jackson to the Jackson-Evers International Airport.
The parkway will begin at Interstate 55 (I-55) at the High Street exit in downtown Jackson.
It will then travel eastward for 12-mile (19 km), crossing the Pearl River[2] and passing through the north side of Pearl before diverging at the proposed West Rankin Parkway at the Jackson-Evers International Airport in Flowood.
In December 2007, the total cost to complete the project was estimated at about $400 million,[3] but construction has yet to begin.
In 2023, Mississippi Senator Roger Wicker requested $13.12 million for the 2024 fiscal year to fund the remaining right-of-way acquisition, design, and update the environmental information documents for the Airport Parkway Corridor.
