MDOT urges drivers to stay alert in I-20 and I-55 work zones

The Mississippi Department of Transportation is reminding drivers to put their phones down and keep their eyes on the road around the I-20/I-55 Freight Corridors Improvement Project, also known as The Big Fix.

The reminder, issued through Highway Mike, says attentive driving could help save a highway worker’s life or the driver’s own life. More information about the project is available at GoMDOT.com/TheBigFix.
