The Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) reminds motorists of the closure of the I-10 West exit ramp at Diamondhead (Exit 16) in Hancock County. This closure is part of a comprehensive interchange reconstruction project aimed at enhancing traffic efficiency and safety. The project involves the complete removal and replacement of the existing ramp with a new two-lane structure.
Motorists traveling through the area are advised to follow designated detour routes. The recommended detour directs drivers to exit onto I-10 West, proceed to Exit 13, and then merge onto I-10 East to access Exit 16. It is essential for drivers to exercise caution and be aware of roadside workers, as well as consider alternative routes to minimize travel disruptions.
The closure is expected to remain in effect for approximately 4 to 6 weeks until all construction activities are completed. This timeframe underscores the importance of adhering to posted signage and traffic advisories to ensure smooth traffic flow and safety for all road users.
