SUMMARY: Starting Monday, the Highway 80 bridge across the Pearl River will close for major repairs, impacting drivers in Hinds and Rankin counties. MDOT will replace three massive girders as part of a $9 million project. This work coincides with ongoing I-55 lane closures, causing additional traffic congestion. Local businesses, such as Van Life, are concerned about the impact on customer access and shipments. Drivers are advised to find alternative routes, though some local drivers are familiar with detours. The I-55 project is expected to be completed early next year, but the bridge repairs may take up to nine months.
Highway 80 Bridge to be closed for at least 9 months
