My family and I were driving through Meridian and its suburbs today. It seems like the southern portion of the S.R. 19 widening is coming along well. The northern portion still needs some work. I noticed that there looked like some right-of-way had been cleared away on S.R. 19, closer to the Meridian corporate limits. Also, it seems like MDOT is building a bridge over I-20/59, east of Downtown Meridian, but west of the U.S. 45 freeway.

I was thinking that this may be some type of bypass. I've done some minimal research on the internet about it, but haven't found much. Any help would be gladly appreciated.


Be well,

I just passed through there on Saturday night and was wondering what was being constructed between MS 19 and U.S. 45. It was dark so I couldn't see too much, and I forgot to do any research once I got home. I would like to know what it was as well.

I found out what the bridge construction is for along that section of Interstate 20/59. It is a new interchange with Hawkin's Crossing Road that will serve the Meridian/Lauderdale County Industrial Park. Here is a link to the article that mentions it (its at the end of the article):

Hope this helps!

Beat me to it.  No need for another bypass on that side because that's what US 45 is.  They've been trying to get that interchange since I was stationed in Meridian and they finally got it this year as a stimulus project.
