All directions of Highway 182 near where the roadway meets Artesia-West Point Road will be closed for most of the day Thursday, according to the Mississippi Department of Transportation.
The closure — which is scheduled to go in effect at 11 a.m. Thursday — is to allow KCS Railroad to make repairs on the railroad underpass in the area, according to a MDOT media release.
Motorists should use Highway 45 A as a detour. Message boards are in place.
Work is slated to be complete by 5 p.m. Thursday, according to MDOT.
