Traffic Advisory: Temporary closure planned on State Route 19/39 south in Meridian next week

WHO: The Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT). WHAT: Temporary closure. WHEN: The closure will begin at 12 a.m. on Monday, October 3, and expected to remain in place for three weeks. WHERE: State Route 19/39 southbound underneath Interstate 20/59 at Exit 154B in Meridian. WHY: The contractor will shut down the roadway in order to lower the southbound lanes and add vertical clearance beneath the I-20/59 overpass bridges. HOW: Motorists are advised to use the signed detour that will be in place for the duration of the closure. The detour allows motorists to use the north and south frontage roads to get around the closure. Pedestrians are reminded to NEVER try and cross an interstate.
