I-55 Northbound remains closed due to black ice, MDOT expects reopening later today

The northbound lanes of Interstate 55 remain closed until the Mississippi Department of Transportation can clear the right lane, officials said. Overnight conditions led to additional black ice buildup on the interstate, making travel hazardous.

MDOT expects to clear the affected lane later this morning. Drivers are advised to exercise caution and check for updates before traveling in the area.

The closure comes amid ongoing efforts to ensure road safety after overnight winter weather impacts.
