ZACK PLAIR, Managing Editor BETH PROFFITT Advertising Director The MICHAEL FLOYD Circulation/Production Manager Opinion Dispatch MARY ANN HARDY Controller Our View The sorry state of our roads emblematic of a do-nothing Legislature In early 2019, the Mississippi Department of Trans- portation should be finished with a project that will make drivers exiting Highway 82 at Military Road in Columbus a little bit safer. The heavy volume of traffic at that exit, as it is cur- rently configured, has created 26 collision points, 16 of them prone to T-bone collisions, according to MDOT engineer Mark Holley, the speaker at Thursday’s Colum- bus Exchange Club at Lion Hills. The remedy will be a $1million round-about system, which makes the exit much safer. That’s the good news. The bad news is that drivers will first have to sur- vive driving on Highway 82 before reaching the exit, something that becomes more of a challenge with each Mississippi voices passing year.
