The Mississippi Department of Transportation said curb work tied to an interstate resurfacing project will intermittently close the entrance and exit ramps for I-59 at U.S. 49 South (Exit 67A) in Hattiesburg beginning June 10 and continuing until the work is complete.
MDOT said the closures will occur one at a time in this order: the ramp from U.S. 49 North to I-59 South; the ramp from I-59 South to U.S. 49 South; the ramp from U.S. 49 South to I-59 North; and the ramp from I-59 North to U.S. 49 North.
MDOT advised that permitted loads must use an alternate route during the closures.
More information, including a news release and maps, is available on MDOT’s website at https://mdot.ms.gov/portal/news_release_view/2742 and at the traffic map pages https://www.mdottraffic.com/?a=561905 and https://www.mdottraffic.com/?a=561904, MDOT said.
