WHO: The Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT).
WHAT: Temporary closure.
WHEN: Monday, July 25, 2022.
WHERE: U.S. Highway 49 southbound between Petrified Forest Road and Kennebrew Road in Hinds County.
WHY: A section of U.S. 49 southbound concrete buckled resulting the temporary closure of the roadway.
HOW: Traffic remains passable in both directions as MDOT crews worked quickly to get traffic in the head-to-head configuration on the northbound side. The repair is currently underway. MDOT will update the public once the repair is complete and the roadway is open.
Motorists are reminded to be alert for roadside crews during the closure. Stay updated on other projects at MDOTtraffic.com, download the MDOT Traffic mobile app and follow @MississippiDOT on Facebook and Twitter.
