Drivers heading east on Interstate 20 this weekend will want to keep an eye out for detour signs as The Mississippi Department of Transportation plans repair work on the 49th Avenue overpass.

 

In a traffic advisory, MDOT said a temporary detour is scheduled for 6 p.m. Saturday through noon on Sunday as crews complete the work. Motorists will be directed to use the 49th Avenue entrance and exit ramps to navigate around the construction, the agency said.

 

Traffic on 49th Avenue will also be impacted by the work, with the southbound lanes closed to traffic completely and northbound traffic detoured onto the I-20 east on-ramp.
