Traffic switch planned on US Highway 84

Associated Press - December 24, 2009 5:54 AM ET

PRENTISS, Miss. (AP) - The Mississippi Department of Transportation is opening a new stretch of 4-lane road on Tuesday along U.S. Highway 84 in Jefferson Davis County.

The switch will eliminate the last remaining two-lane section along Highway 84 in the area.

Transportation officials say work will continue to make Highway 84 a four-lane from Natchez to Collins.

The highway is already four lanes from Collins to Waynesboro and, ultimately, the Alabama line.
