Mississippi Highway 590 (MS 590) is a state highway that runs for 22 miles (35 km) from the

U.S. Route 49 (US 49) to just outside of Ellisville at MS 29 in the southern portion of Mississippi
.

Route description

MS 590's western terminus is located just west of the town of Seminary along US 49, just north of its intersection with

Jones County Junior College with a driveway providing access to the college.[2] Now curving slightly to the northeast, MS 590 ends southeast of downtown Ellisville at an intersection with MS 29.[3]

History

The general routing of MS 590 had existed in the state highway system since at least 1928.[4] By 1950, the MS 590 designation was applied to this road with a small portion of the road around Seminary being paved.[5][6] The road was slowly improved over the next few years until it had been fully improved by 1964.[7][8] Beginning in 2011, the Mississippi Department of Transportation constructed a 2.3-mile-long (3.7 km) extension of MS 590 from just west of its original terminus at US 11 to MS 29 southeast of Ellisville.[9] The construction also included a new entrance to Jones County Junior College. The extension was completed in September 2013.[2]
