All northbound lanes of Interstate 55 from Batesville (Exit 243) to Senatobia (Exit 265) and all lanes of I-22/U.S. 78 from Red Banks (Exit 21) to the Tennessee state line are closed until further notice, according to the Mississippi Department of Transportation.
The closures are in place to allow MDOT crews to work on ice removal efforts amid winter weather conditions. Officials advise the public to avoid these areas entirely.
Motorists are encouraged to check live road conditions via the free MDOT Traffic app, available in the App Store and Google Play, or visit MDOTtraffic.com for updates.
