What is the V557 general path description?

V557 is a westward-bowing Victor airway that serves as an alternative to V9 in the segment between McComb, Magnolia, and Sidon. Victor airways are defined by VOR radials and fixed routes, and a “bow” describes a deviation off the main line to connect nearby fixes. In this case, V557 lies to the west of the V9 corridor, offering a westward option in that area. The other descriptions describe paths in different directions or in different segments, which don’t match this airway’s established alignment.
