Mississippi Highway 9W marker

Mississippi Highway 9W (MS 9W) is a 20.3-mile (32.7 km) long state highway located in northern Mississippi. The southern terminus of the route is at MS 9 north of Bruce in Calhoun County while the northern terminus is at MS 7 south of Oxford in Lafayette County. The route is a two-lane undivided road its entire length and passes through rural areas of woods and farms. Along the way, MS 9W intersects MS 315 in Paris. MS 9W was designated to follow its current alignment in 1956 and was fully paved from a gravel road by 1960.

MS 9W begins at an intersection with MS 9 to the north of Bruce in Calhoun County. The route heads northwest on a two-lane undivided road through a mix of woods and farmlands with a few homes. The road turns to the north and reaches the community of Banner, where the road crosses two County Roads: CR 275 and CR 267. MS 9W enters a dense forest as it curves northwest again and heads into more agricultural fields, coming to a junction with CR 284. After crossing into Lafayette County, the route reaches the community of Paris and intersects the eastern terminus of MS 315 as well as CR 428. After this intersection, MS 9W passes through several more miles of forests, intersecting CR 371 before reaching its terminus at MS 7 to the south of Oxford. MS 9W is legally defined in Mississippi Code § 65-3-3.
