MDOT continues work around the Pine Belt
SUMMARY: The ongoing construction project does not include any lane closures, and crews are taking a break for the holidays. Work will resume on January 2nd, 2023, on one of MDOT’s biggest Pine Belt projects from 2023 that will finish up sometime next year. MDOT has also lowered the grade to improve sight distance and built retaining walls. In 2024, Mil and overlay work will continue between Myers Creek and U.S. 11. Additionally, a new traffic pattern, an R-cut, was designed at an intersection to reduce the number of crashes. MDOT is working with a contractor to complete a new alignment and bridge by the summer. Once the work is finished, MDOT plans to improve safety by upgrading to a more modern concrete bridge. All of these projects will be completed in 2024, barring any weather delays.
The Mississippi Department of Transportation continues working on the busy interstate from Moselle to the Lamar County line.

SUMMARY: Rainfall has been slow to return to the Pine Belt, alleviating drought but presenting challenges for local farmers. In Pearl River County, cattle farmer Jeff Easterling mentions increased feeding costs and adjustments to livestock diets due to the drought. He anticipates waiting three weeks before fully grazing cattle. Conversely, soybean farmer John Corley found the drought beneficial for his recent harvest, enabling efficient harvesting and pest control. Experts note that optimal soybean yields need consistent rainfall during late summer and early fall for maturation. Overall, the drought presents mixed outcomes for the local agriculture sector.
Minimal rainfall brings mixed bag.
