Mississippi Road Conditions Worsen During Winter Storm

Road conditions in northern Mississippi remain hazardous as winter weather persists, according to the latest update from the Mississippi Department of Transportation. A current map shows varying levels of road safety across the region.

Routes marked in blue are passable but still experiencing icing, which officials caution does not equate to safety. Red routes indicate severe icing and extreme congestion, and drivers are advised to avoid these areas if possible.

Orange routes are passable but may have lane blockages caused by downed power lines or fallen trees. Authorities continue to recommend emergency travel only in affected areas.

Motorists are encouraged to stay informed on live road conditions by downloading the MDOT Traffic app from the App Store or Google Play or visiting MDOTtraffic.com.
