Mississippi invested $1.6 billion into its transportation system during the 2025 fiscal year, according to state officials.

The investment has led to work zones across the state, prompting the governor to declare April 20-24 as Work Zone Awareness Week.

The proclamation aims to remind drivers to slow down and stay alert in work zones to ensure the safety of construction workers.

Officials emphasize the importance of cautious driving to prevent accidents and protect workers in these areas.
