Mississippi Highway 76 (MS 76) is an east-west state highway in Itawamba County, Mississippi. It is a section of Mississippi's portion of Corridor V of the Appalachian Development Highway System. It branches off northeast from MS 25 northeast of Fulton and passes through the northeast quadrant of rural Itawamba County before connecting with Alabama's SR 24 section at the state line, just barely outside the city limits of Red Bay, Alabama.
MS 76 was proposed as a four-lane connection for SR 24 (and all of northeast Alabama) to Fulton, Tupelo, and I-22. Before April 11, 2023, it only extended 2.4 miles (3.9 km) from the state line to MS 23.[5] The remaining 8.3-mile (13.4 km) stretch from MS 23 to MS 25 opened on that day, and was the final segment on Corridor V to open, making the trip between I-55 in Batesville to I-24 west of Chattanooga, Tennessee entirely a four-lane divided highway.[1][2]
