Route description
editAs of 1965, the route was located in eastern Wilkinson and western Amite counties.[2] All of the route was a two-laned[3] paved road.[2] MS 572 began at the center of Centreville, near a railroad track. The route then traveled down Park Road until it exited Wilkinson County and entered Amite County.[4] After crossing the county line, MS 572 intersected MS 24 and MS 33, and MS 572 was also branded Lower Centreville Road.[1] Continuing eastward, the route exited Centreville and crossed over Beaver Creek and emerged into the village of Olio.[3] MS 572 left Olio, and ended few miles later at MS 569 at a T-intersection. Lower Centreville Road continued east, concurrent with MS 569.[1] MS 572 was maintained by the Mississippi State Highway Commission and Amite County, as part of the state highway system.[2]
History
editMS 572 was designated in 1957, connecting from MS 24/33 to MS 569. The route was fully paved when it was created.[5][6] The next year, it was extended slightly to Centreville.[6][7] By 1960, a section of the route in Amite County was transferred to county maintenance.[7][8] MS 572 was removed from the state highway system by 1967.[2][9] Today, the road is known as Park Road (unsigned Mississippi Highway 946) west of MS 24 and MS 33,[10] and Lower Centreville Road east of it.[3]
