Motorists in Carroll County will see ongoing improvements along U.S. 51 as the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) continues work to replace six bridges in the area.
All concrete bridge decks for the project have been completed. At Site 1, the crushed limestone base is in place, and the contractor is awaiting asphalt to resume paving operations. Site 2 is nearing completion of roadway embankment, with approach slabs being installed using borrow material.
The $15.9 million project was awarded to Ste-Bil Grading Inc. of Waterford, with construction expected to be complete in fall 2026.
MDOT officials remind drivers to exercise caution through work zones and be alert for roadside crews.
Elsewhere in north Mississippi, bridge replacements and roadway improvements are underway on U.S. 51 in Yalobusha County, State Route 9 in Calhoun County, and multiple highways in DeSoto, Panola, Benton, and Lafayette counties. Projects include bridge replacements, mill and overlay work, and new roundabouts, with timelines ranging from this spring through late 2026.
