Mississippi Highway 355 (MS 355) is a 11.9adj=midNaNadj=mid north–south state highway in Pontotoc and Union counties. It connects the town of Thaxton with the town of New Albany.
The entire length of MS 355 is a rural, two-lane, state highway.
MS 355 begins at an intersection with MS 346 in the community of Esperanza, north of Thaxton in Pontotoc County. The highway at this point is unsigned; it is not maintained by the state, rather by Pontotoc County as unsigned County Road 858 (CR 858).[1] [2] The road heads northwest, then north intersecting minor county roads and crossing Mill Creek as it passes through mostly agricultural fields. At the Pontotoc-Union county line, state maintenance and signage for MS 355 begins. The highway generally continues northwest through woods and farm fields. At Union CR 47, MS 355 reaches a T-intersection; MS 355 heads due west from this intersection. It later curves to the north passing through the community of Etta before ending at MS 30.
