Facebook post warns drivers to turn around on I-55 north of Batesville, I-22 north of Lake Center
A Facebook post warns drivers on Interstate 55 north of Batesville and Interstate 22 north of Lake Center to turn around immediately because road crews are working to remove stranded vehicles and the roadways are in extremely dangerous condition, the post said.
The post also cautioned that other state highways and county roads may present similar hazards and urged motorists to travel in North Mississippi only if necessary and to use extreme caution if they do so, the post said.
Interstate 55 and Interstate 22 are major highways in northern Mississippi that carry local and regional traffic; hazardous conditions on those routes can disrupt travel and emergency response across the area. Road crews working to clear stranded vehicles typically aim to reopen lanes as soon as it is safe to do so.
Motorists should monitor local news outlets and official agency social media for updates before traveling and follow instructions from road crews and law enforcement. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
