Route description

MS 332 near the Grenada Airport

All of the road is located within

MS 333 Scenic from both termini.[3][2]

MS 332 is legally defined in Mississippi Code § 65-3-3,[5] and it is maintained by the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) and the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).[1][6] In 2015, MDOT calculated as many as 2,900 vehicles traveling east of US 51, and as few as 930 vehicles traveling east of Mayor Boone Airport Road.[7]

History

The short road that became MS 332 existed since 1928,[8] from north of Grenada to south of the Grenada–Yalobusha county line as a gravel road. It later became part of MS 7 in 1932,[8][9] and it was paved in 1939.[10][11] Between 1946 and 1948, the Grenada Lake was constructed, and its northwest side bordered MS 7.[12][13] By 1955, MS 7 was rerouted further north of the lake, with one section near Grenada remaining.[14][15] The section was signed as MS 332 by 1958.[16][17] The route has not been changed significantly since.[17][18]
