Wednesday, both north and south bound lanes of Highway 49 were shut down for hours near O'Neal Road in Gulfport when a garbage truck, with its dumpster in the air, struck a power line strung across the highway.
Drivers leaving the Promenade from the west exit can now use the newly opened onramp to access I-10 without the lengthy detour, and it couldn't have come at a better time.
Repair work on the Pearl River Bridge will start this Friday, October 17th, and will cause some lanes to be closed the for the entire weekend.
Many commuters use the Gulf Islands National Park as a shortcut to Highway 90, but the high volume of traffic has become a safety concern for the bikers and runners who also use the park.
Although safety practices are often followed at work and at home, they are not always observed while in route to and from those destinations.
If you'll be traveling eastbound on Interstate 10 Thursday night, you can expect some heavy delays in some areas that could last until early morning.
In the wake of Tuesday's bicycle accident, pedestrian safety is more important than ever.
