Newton County, Miss. (WTOK) - The Highway 80 bridge over Turkey Creek will close temporarily on October 16. The bridge is located between Norman Road and Experiment Station Road.
It’s closed as part of a MDOT project dedicated to replacing several bridges on the highway in Newton and Lauderdale Counties.
Traffic control and detour signs will be up to reroute traffic around the closure on I-20 between the Newton and Hickory exits.
Drivers should slow down and pay attention to signs and road crews.
Work on the bridge is expected to last through February 2026.
