Marshall County MDOT projects expected to be completed by fall
The Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) announced recently the 16-mile paving project and the bridge replacement on State Route 4 over the BNSF Railway, in Marshall County, is expected to be completed in the fall.
“MDOT has made substantial progress on many of our paving and bridge replacement projects this spring and early summer,” said D2 District Engineer Mitch Turner. “The weather has been cooperative so far and we anticipate this progress to continue through the summer months.”
Work has begun on the mill and overlay of State Route 309 from State Route 4 to Highway 78, trench widening, and repaving, on the south end of the project.
The construction of the bridge on State Route 4 over the BNSF railway is almost completed except for placement of a concrete pedestrian rail. Crews have been working on the earthwork approaches to the bridge with the west side now almost complete.
Both projects are expected to be completed by fall.
