The Mississippi Transportation Commission has awarded funding for six statewide transportation infrastructure maintenance projects that are slated to be supervised by the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT).
“These projects will make our highways safer and make Mississippi a better place to live and work,” MDOT Executive Director Melinda McGrath said. “All of our projects, whether pavement overlays or bridge replacements, help ensure the businesses and people of Mississippi have efficient and reliable infrastructure for travel and transport of goods and services.”
Central Transportation District contract awards include a $3.3 million pact to Dickerson & Bowen, Inc., of Brookhaven, for an 11-mile mill and overlay project on State Route 21 from Dixon to State Route 15 in Neshoba County.
Meanwhile, Northern Transportation District funding awards include a $2.3 million contract to W.G. Construction Company, Inc., of Ripley, for a nearly 10-mile mill and overlay project on State Route 4 from State Route 371 to the Tishomingo County line in Prentiss County.
“These projects will help MDOT continue to provide safe and reliable transportation to Mississippi’s traveling public,” Commissioner Tom King, chair, Mississippi Transportation Commission, said. “A robust transportation network is vital for economic development.”
MDOT will release additional information regarding timelines and impacts to traffic before the start of construction.
“Safety is always MDOT’s top priority,” Commissioner John Caldwell, Northern Transportation District, said. “These projects will significantly increase safety and mobility throughout north Mississippi.”
