The Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) reports that crews continue to make headway on a major project to widen I-10 from four to six lanes from Diamondhead to County Farm Rd. in Harrison and Hancock counties. The scope of work also includes technological upgrades and the construction of a multi-use path and a noise barrier wall near the Diamondhead exit.
Widening operations are ongoing in both directions with paving underway on the westbound side, and on the eastbound side, stone base is being placed, and paving is in progress in Hancock County. Widening is complete on two of the three bridges within the project area, located at Vidalia Rd. and Kiln-Delisle Rd. On the Wolfe River bridge, the contractor is forming caps and decking. All bridge widening work should be complete by the end of the year, possibly sooner.
Near the Diamondhead exit, piling is nearly complete on the noise barrier wall. To construct the multi-use path, pedestrian bridges are being prefabricated, and stone base is being placed.
The $155 million project is expected to be completed in 2027.
