MDOT Plans Anti-Climb Fencing Along I-55 in Jackson to Enhance Safety

MDOT Plans Anti-Climb Fencing Along I-55 in Jackson to Enhance Safety

The Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) is set to install anti-climb fencing at several I-55 overpasses in the Jackson area. This initiative is part of a larger improvement project scheduled to be put out for bids in January 2027. The primary goal of the fencing is to deter individuals from camping underneath interstate overpasses, a practice that poses dangers due to proximity to traffic and can lead to hazards for motorists, including damage to bridge structures from fires. MDOT has already implemented a test section of anti-climb fencing along the center wall barrier on I-55 at Northside Drive to evaluate its durability and performance under real-world traffic conditions. MDOT public information officer Michael Flood emphasized that the fencing also aims to prevent pedestrians from attempting to cross the interstate on foot, citing frequent accidents and fatalities in the Jackson area.
