If you’re traveling through Mississippi on Labor Day weekend you’ll get a break from construction zones.

The Mississippi Department of Transportation is suspending all interstate and four-lane highway work from 5 p.m. Friday until 6 a.m.Tuesday in anticipation of the increased holiday traffic.

“Even though no highway construction work will be occurring across the state, motorists should be aware that some lane closures will remain in place,” Melinda McGrath, MDOT executive director, said in a statement. “These lanes closures are there to protect motorists, and MDOT urges drivers to treat these areas as active work zones.”

MDOT urges Motorists to continue to pay attention to work zones, which can present unfamiliar driving patterns. Motorists should slow down when approaching and traveling through work zones, and always avoid distracted driving.

MDOT’s Traffic Management Center will use traffic cameras, congestion analysis technology, radar and temperature sensors, along with local agency communication, to observe the most traveled highways in the state, according to MDOT.

The information is shared with motorists through email and text subscribers at MDOTTTraffic.com. Information is also availble through MDOT’s smartphone app or by calling 511.
