Starting on January 20th, drivers on I-20 in Mississippi can expect alternating lane closures on the Mississippi River Bridge. The closures are part of necessary maintenance work on the bridge, which connects Mississippi and Louisiana.
The Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) announced that the lane closures will be in effect during off-peak hours to minimize disruptions to traffic flow. The closures will allow crews to conduct inspections and repairs to ensure the safety and integrity of the bridge.
According to MDOT, the alternating lane closures are expected to last for several weeks, with work scheduled to be completed by the end of February. Drivers are advised to plan ahead and allow for extra travel time during this period.
The Mississippi River Bridge is a vital transportation artery for the region, connecting the two states and serving as a key route for commercial and passenger vehicles. Maintaining the bridge is essential to ensure the safety of all who use it.
MDOT urges drivers to be cautious and follow posted signage and instructions from flaggers during the lane closures. Motorists should also be aware of potential delays and adjust their travel plans accordingly.
