Route description
MS 35 begins in the southern part of the state in Marion County at the Louisiana state line in the community of Twin, where it continues south as Louisiana Highway 21 (LA 21). It heads north as a two-lane highway through Twin and the community of Sandy Hook, where it has an intersection with MS 48, before paralleling the Pearl River through the communities of Pickwick, Cheraw, Natcole, and Jamestown. The highway now widens to a four-lane divided highway for a short distance before entering the community of Foxworth and becoming concurrent (overlapped) with US 98. MS 35 follows US 98 to pass just south of the main business district to have an intersection with MS 586 before splitting off and becoming concurrent with MS 13 north. MS 13/MS 35 soon narrow to two-lanes and leaves the community to cross a bridge over the Pearl River to enter the city of Columbia.

History
= Bridge damage
=In 2003, the bridge in Walnut Grove was damaged by overflowing floodwaters in a river due to heavy rain and winds. Several months later, the bridge was replaced and reopened to traffic.
= MS 35E and MS 35W
=Between 1941 and 1950, MS 35 was split into Mississippi Highway 35E (MS 35E) and Mississippi Highway 35W (MS 35W) through Covington and Smith Counties.
A road has existed from Collins to Raleigh since 1928, with gravel layered between Collins and Taylorsville. All of the road was layered with gravel by 1932, and it became part of MS 35. By 1941, the road was renumbered to MS 35E, as a new road from Mount Olive to Raleigh was designated as MS 35W. MS 35E was also realigned onto a paved road that started at US 84 east of Collins, transitioning to a gravel road at Taylorsville. Around nine years later, MS 35E was renumbered to MS 37, and MS 35W became part of MS 35. The section of the route near Raleigh was paved by 1951, and the remaining section near Taylorsville was paved by July 1952.
= MS 13W
=Mississippi Highway 13W (MS 13W) existed as a spur of MS 13 from Columbia southward to the Louisiana state line just past the community of Sandy Hook, continuing into that state as what is now Louisiana Highway 21 (LA 21). Designated in 1941, it was decommissioned and renumbered in 1949 as a southern extension of MS 35.
