The Mississippi Department of Transportation plans to conduct a hurricane evacuation drill on Interstate 59 in south Mississippi on July 1.
The contraflow or lane reversal drill is part of MDOT’s hurricane preparedness efforts. It will not involve actual lane closures or reversals. Instead, workers will be given assignments and instructed where to take equipment that will be used in the exercise.
In an effort to assist Louisiana in hurricane evacuation efforts, MDOT will implement contraflow for Interstate 59 and Interstate 55 when requested by the neighboring state and approved by Mississippi’s governor.
