SUMMARY: MDOT is in the midst of a massive milling and repaving project on I-20, with the work largely being done overnight to minimize impact on drivers. The project involves grinding away the brittle road surface, filling troubled spots, and placing a top layer of asphalt. Although this is a temporary fix, a more permanent solution will be needed in the future. The current phase of the project is expected to be completed by the end of the summer. The project includes a $14 million job on I-20 and repairs to the Brandon Bridge. Drivers have mixed feelings about the road conditions but appreciate the efforts to improve them.
