MDOT granted nearly $5 million to improve hurricane evacuation routes
SUMMARY: During Hurricane Preparedness Week, Mississippi was allocated nearly $5 million to upgrade evacuation routes. This funding, part of the federal PROTECT Grant, will enhance contraflow systems on I-55 and I-59, used exclusively for hurricane evacuations. The grant allows for extending contraflow routes and adding gates, signage, and mile markers to improve traffic flow on these highways. MDOT emphasizes the necessity of efficient evacuation strategies for coastal safety. The project, still in the design phase, is expected to start in 2025, with aims to bolster safety and efficiency during natural disasters.

Mississippi State baseball climbs rankings after series win over Alabama

With a record of 32-16 and a 14-10 SEC standing, they potentially stand to host a regional if they can secure at least one win against the Razorbacks and perform well in upcoming games.
