Auto Correct: Detour


Listen Later

We’ve got an assortment of information to share with you today. We’ve got MDOT in the house to tell us about this crazy bridge repair that will detour south bound traffic on I-55 and west bound traffic I-20 in central Mississippi. I say “share” and “tell” because there are no phone calls. It’s our pledge drive time. Instead of taking calls we want you to call to make a contribution to MPB 1-888-372-4483 or go to https://donate.mpbfoundation.org/mspb/donate We want to hear from you but we want to hear your comments about why you love Auto Correct and MPB.


Guest: Mike Flood from Mississippi Department of Transportation.

TRAFFIC ADVISORY: MDOT will close all lanes of I-20 WB/I-55 SB at State Street in Jackson on April 8 to perform an emergency repair on a roadway failure that has resulted in a severe dip in the interstate.


The closure begin at 7 p.m. on Friday, April 8 and is expected to last 72 HOURS.


The temporary closure will have a MAJOR impact on traffic. During the closure, I-20 WB/I-55 SB traffic will be directed to I-55 NB and I-220 SB to detour around the closure. Local traffic should consider an alternate route on local roads during the closure timeframe.
