WHO: The Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT).
WHAT: Temporary lane closure.
WHEN: Monday, July 10, 2023.
WHERE: The I-55 north frontage road ramp to I-55 south frontage road in Jackson.
WHY: The inside lane of the frontage road bridge over Hanging Moss Creek near the Canton Mart overpass has been temporarily closed following a fire incident that took place early Monday. The safety of the public and need for structural assessment necessitated the lane closure.
HOW: “Fires like this that result in bridge damage are why must we do all we can to protect the integrity of these vital structures in our communities,” said MDOT Executive Director Brad White. “Motorists are advised to plan their routes accordingly. Commuters are encouraged to use caution, slow down and stay alert for roadside workers.”
MDOT will keep the public informed on the repair as details are determined. In the meantime, stay updated on this project and others by downloading the MDOT Traffic mobile app, visiting MDOTtraffic.com, and following @MississippiDOT on Facebook and Twitter.
