SUMMARY: Construction on Highway 82 in Columbus, Mississippi has raised questions about why the work is not being done at night. The main reason for daytime work is safety concerns for both workers and drivers, as well as the higher cost of nighttime construction.

Matt Dunn, MDOT Engineer, reassures drivers that the project will result in a smoother ride once completed. The project is expected to finish by the end of summer. Drivers can stay updated on road closures and alerts through the MDOT app and social media.
