MDOT boasts record infrastructure investments in 2024
SUMMARY: The Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) is celebrating a record $1.2 billion in approved infrastructure projects for Fiscal Year 2024, surpassing the previous record by $255 million. This achievement is attributed to increased funding and improved efficiency. Major projects include the Ripley Bypass, bridge construction on State Route 8, and Phase II of the U.S. 82 Greenville Bypass. The Mississippi Legislature allocated $620 million to MDOT, and additional federal funding came through $220 million in grants. MDOT also initiated several other projects, including resurfacing I-55 and widening I-10. Despite this funding, MDOT seeks further investments for future capacity projects.
