Highway 463 bypass slated for opening June 15

AFTER MORE THAN a decade of delays, the Highway 463 bypass north of downtown Madison will be finished and open next weekend, according to the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT).

MDOT and Madison officials will hold a ribbon cutting at the crest of the new 463 bridge above the railroad tracks Friday, June 15, at 10 a.m.

 “This is one of the most exciting days in the history of our city,” said Madison Mayor Mary Hawkins Butler of the bypass, which was recently named Madison Parkway.
