Failed verification
I am generally very skeptical of articles such as this one which are based almost entirely on primary sources, but I recognize that the community sees this differently. That said, [https://www.newspapers.com/clip/20619458/clarionledger/ this] citation does not support the statement "The route was designated around January 1960"; the source is merely speculative. This really should be fixed. Vanamonde (talk) 10:21, 29 June 2018 (UTC)
Further: I don't see how the lay reader can verify "The segment near Lena was paved by 1967" from these two links: [http://sp.mdot.ms.gov/Office%20of%20Highways/Planning/Maps/State%20Highway%20Maps%20Archive/HWY%20Map%201965%20Front.pdf 1], [http://sp.mdot.ms.gov/Office%20of%20Highways/Planning/Maps/State%20Highway%20Maps%20Archive/HWY%20Map%201967%20Front.pdf 2], which are currently the only sources there.

The final sentence, likewise. Vanamonde (talk) 10:31, 29 June 2018 (UTC)
Okay, I see that part now. But two failed verification tags remain, I'm afraid. Vanamonde (talk) 10:38, 29 June 2018 (UTC)
