Vicksburg city workers dig near Halls Ferry Road and Melrose Avenue Wednesday while preparing for the installation of a 12-inch water tap that will go under the road to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Engineer Research and Development Center, in the background. Water mains supervisor Dane Lovell said the work likely will delay traffic along Halls Ferry beginning Tuesday.
