$67 million to pay for Mississippi bridge replacements
SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Transportation has awarded a $67.5 million grant to the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) to replace 13 aging bridges in central Mississippi. These bridges, constructed between 1928 and 1939, are critical for connecting rural areas to urban centers like Jackson. The new structures will meet current design standards, featuring 12-foot-wide lanes and 6-foot-wide shoulders to enhance safety and accommodate freight and vehicle traffic. Acting Federal Highway Administrator Kristin White emphasized the importance of bridge infrastructure for community connectivity and economic efficiency.

SUMMARY: Daylight Saving Time ends on November 3, resulting in brighter mornings but earlier sunsets. Lori Cargile, assistant principal at New Hope High, highlights the safety benefits for early morning bus routes, allowing drivers to operate in daylight when picking up students.
