The Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) would like to inform the public of an upcoming pavement preservation project/operation that will take place in District 3 in continue through the end of the year.
Tentative Route Schedule:
n State Route 433 from Satartia to Ebenezer in Yazoo and Holmes Counties

n State Route 14 from Ebenezer to the Big Black River in Holmes County

“Pavement preservation is a proactive treatment placed on an existing pavement and designed to extend the life of the pavement. This project/operation will seal existing cracks to minimize moisture penetrating through the surface and then an aggregate driving surface,” said MDOT Executive Director Melinda McGrath. “With limited funding available for maintaining the state highway system, pavement preservation treatments such as this are a necessity and are being used in across the nation successfully.”
Motorists are strongly encouraged to pay close attention to all signs, workers and equipment. Motorists should be prepared for delays and intermittent stops. Flagmen will be on site to direct traffic. MDOT urges motorists to slow down when approaching and moving through the work zone.
