MDOT continues work around the Pine Belt
SUMMARY: The ongoing construction project does not include any lane closures, and crews are taking a break for the holidays. Work will resume on January 2nd, 2023, on one of MDOT's biggest Pine Belt projects from 2023 that will finish up sometime next year. MDOT has also lowered the grade to improve sight distance and built retaining walls. In 2024, Mil and overlay work will continue between Myers Creek and U.S. 11. Additionally, a new traffic pattern, an R-cut, was designed at an intersection to reduce the number of crashes. MDOT is working with a contractor to complete a new alignment and bridge by the summer. Once the work is finished, MDOT plans to improve safety by upgrading to a more modern concrete bridge. All of these projects will be completed in 2024, barring any weather delays.
The Mississippi Department of Transportation continues working on the busy interstate from Moselle to the Lamar County line.
