The Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) announced that oversized and overweight vehicle travel on all state and federal highways will be prohibited beginning Monday, December 24, through Wednesday, December 26; along with Monday, December 31, through Wednesday, January 2, 2019.

ā€œOur top priority is the safety of all motorists traveling Mississippi highways during the upcoming holidays,ā€ said Melinda McGrath, P.E., MDOT executive director. ā€œWith increased traffic volume on Mississippiā€™s highways, prohibiting oversized loads during the holidays is one more way MDOT is working to increase the safety of the traveling public.ā€

All permits issued for daylight movement only are prohibited on Sundays with the exception of sealed containers. Movement after noon the day before and the entire day of a legal holiday is prohibited.

MDOT also reminds the public to share the road safely with log trucks by leaving enough space between vehicles, especially at night.
