Tupelo receives grant to ease congestion at busy crossroads
SUMMARY: The City of Tupelo, Mississippi, will receive over $7.5 million from a Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements Grant provided by the U.S. Department of Transportation. The funding aims to alleviate traffic congestion at Tupelo’s Crosstown intersection by moving train switching operations south of the city and creating “quiet zones” in specific areas. Additionally, the grant will fund upgrades at eleven rail crossings throughout the city. However, the timeline for completion of these projects has not yet been announced. For continuous updates, residents are encouraged to follow WCBI on Facebook and X (formerly Twitter).

SUMMARY: Catastrophic flooding in Texas over the July Fourth weekend killed at least 104 people, including 28 children, mostly near Camp Mystic, a century-old girls’ summer camp in Kerr County. Search-and-rescue teams continue to search swollen rivers for dozens still missing; officials expect the death toll to rise as more rain threatens the saturated area. Many victims were swept from cabins by flash floods early Friday, some clinging to trees. Authorities will investigate warnings and evacuation delays, noting poor cellphone service hindered alerts. Despite warnings issued before the flood, some residents didn’t receive them. President Trump plans to visit the state.
