Mississippi Highway 713 is a spur route in northwestern Mississippi that carries traffic between the relocated MS 304 and U.S. 61, serving as a bypass of the northern section of Tunica Resorts, Mississippi for traffic headed to the Casino Strip Resorts, the town of Tunica, and destinations further south along U.S. 61.
History
The northern portion of MS 713 runs mostly north–south, coinciding with Interstate 69 and is a freeway constructed to Interstate highway standards; it opened to traffic December 18, 2006.[2] The remainder of the route replaces the former route of MS 304 between U.S. 61 and Banks, Mississippi, is a five-lane undivided highway with a center turn lane, and runs east–west.
The portion of MS 713 in Tunica County was designated as the Martin Luther King, Jr., Memorial Highway by the Mississippi Legislature in 2003.[3]
