Published 12:00 pm Thursday, December 16, 2010
Employees of Lane Line of Flowood place lines and arrows between DiamondJacks Casino and Lee Street Wednesday in preparation for today’s access road opening for vehicles to have a shorter detour around construction of a new bridge over rail tracks on Washington Street. The bridge, part of the main north-south corridor connecting Interstate 20 to downtown Vicksburg, was closed in January 2009 and demolished in August. Completion of the road-topped tunnel over the tracks is expected in April.
