Hattiesburg,MS Traffic

#40397 - Sat Jul 09 2005 12:02 AM

As of 10:30 PM CDT. The traffic flow in Hattiesburg,MS is good.

US Hwy 98 westbound traffic from Alabam and Florida is very light, right now.

US Hwy 49 traffic northbound from the MS Gulf Coast is in the light to moderate range.

Interstate Highway 59 north from the New Orleans/ Slidell area is at a light to moderate flow.

There is heavy talk of ContraFlow on US HWY 49 from north of Gulfport to at least Hattiesburg-starting sometime Saturday.

I am trying to find a link for that information. And will post it here as soon as I can.
Here's the info link.

Hattiesburg,MS traffic update

[Re: danielw]
#40672 - Sat Jul 09 2005 10:33 AM

As of 9 AM this morning. The Misssissippi MDOT, has staged part of the Contraflow for New Orleans traffic.
This is a preliminary stage only.
Signs are set in place to route northbound Interstate 59 as four lanes from the Louisiana State Line to US Hwy 98 just south of Hattiesburg,MS.
When the next stage is reached NO Southbound traffic, on I-59, will be allowed South of Hattiesburg,MS at the US Hwy 98 interchange.
This has never been done before, so it may have a few kinks in it.

US 98 traffic from the AL/ FL area will be routed around Hattiesburg on I-59.

US Hwy 49 traffic from the MS Gulf Coast will be routed thru Hattiesburg toward Jackson.

Very few on and off points are planned. For traffic control purposes.
