West 10th Street Road Closure Starting April 27


LAUREL, Miss. (THN News)- Starting Monday, April 27, West 10th Street between 16th Avenue and Wansley Road will close to through traffic.


This closure will last about two weeks while crews replace a drainage crossing.


This work is essential to improve local infrastructure and prevent future flooding or road damage. Motorists should plan alternate routes and exercise caution near the work zone.


Why the Road Closure Is Necessary


West 10th Street serves as a key connector in the local road network. The drainage crossing between 16th Avenue and Wansley Road has deteriorated over time, causing water to pool during heavy rains. This pooling can damage the road surface and create unsafe driving conditions.


Replacing the drainage crossing will:


  • Improve water flow and reduce flooding risk

  • Extend the lifespan of West 10th Street

  • Enhance safety for drivers and pedestrians

  • Support future growth and development in the area


The project requires closing the road to through traffic to allow crews to work efficiently and safely.


What to Expect During the Closure


The closure will start early Monday, April 27, and last approximately two weeks. During this time:


  • West 10th Street will be closed between 16th Avenue and Wansley Road.

  • Local access will be maintained for residents and businesses within the closed section.

  • Construction crews will work daily, weather permitting, to replace the drainage crossing.

  • Traffic control signs and barriers will be in place to guide drivers.


Drivers should expect some noise and dust near the work zone. Construction vehicles will enter and exit the site regularly.
