College View Drive Realignment

A new Mississippi State University gateway from College View Drive has been unveiled, transforming campus entry with the opening of a new street which enhances safety and connectivity. 

The street opened to traffic August 9 with MSU’s classic trolley taking a ceremonial first drive on the fresh pavement. The project realigns College View at the intersection of Bailey Howell Drive next to the MSU Soccer Field to connect to Barr Avenue at the intersection of Bost Drive.  

The street, designed for all modes of transportation, features a new shuttle stop, protected bike lanes, raised pedestrian crossings, and additional sidewalks to increase efficiency and safety on the west side of campus.
