The Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) has announced a planned closure of the I-10 entrance ramp at County Farm Road (Exit 28) in Harrison County.
Key Details of the I-10 Closure:
- Who: Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) maintenance crews, working alongside contracted paving specialists.
- What: Full closure of the westbound I-10 entrance ramp from County Farm Road. This measure ensures worker safety and allows for uninterrupted paving activities without the hazards posed by active traffic.
- When: The closure will be in effect from 7:00 p.m. on Monday, February 16, 2026, until 6:00 a.m. on Tuesday, February 17, 2026. Operations are scheduled during overnight hours to minimize impact on daily commuters and peak traffic periods.
- Where: Specifically, the westbound I-10 on-ramp at County Farm Road (Exit 28), located in Harrison County along the bustling Gulf Coast corridor of Interstate 10.
- Why: Paving operations are underway to repair and resurface the ramp, addressing wear and tear from heavy traffic volumes, weather exposure, and daily use. These improvements will provide a smoother, safer driving surface, reduce future potholes, and enhance overall pavement durability for years to come.
Motorists traveling in the Harrison County area during this period are strongly encouraged to plan ahead and utilize alternate routes, such as nearby exits or parallel roadways like Old Highway 49 or local arterials. Signage will be prominently displayed in advance to guide drivers, and all travelers are urged to remain vigilant, reduce speeds, and stay alert for construction personnel, equipment, and potential lane shifts. The safety of both workers and the public remains MDOT’s top priority during all maintenance activities.
