Highway 15 S closed for bridge repair

Highway 15 South at the Canadian Pacific Kansas City railroad bridge at Neshoba will be closed for up to two months for repairs, the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) announced.

During the closure, one lane will remain open with traffic control devices allowing travel in each direction, MDOT said in the announcement.

The closure began on Monday, Feb. 19, and is expected to remain in place for up to two months.

Crews will start with the northbound lane and once that side is complete, close the southbound lane.

Motorists are advised to drive slowly and stay alert for roadside crews and equipment, MDOT said.
