CITY OF RIDGELAND BEGINS SOUTH WHEATLEY STREET REHABILITATION PROJECT
ON JANUARY 19

The City of Ridgeland will begin work on the South Wheatley Rehabilitation Project on January 19th. Hemphill Construction has been contracted to complete the project, which is expected to take approximately nine months to complete.

Construction will occur in phases and will require temporary lane closures throughout most of the project. Detour signage will be in place during each phase to help guide motorists safely through the area.

During Phase I, South Wheatley will remain open to two-way traffic. As the project progresses into Phases II and III, northbound traffic is expected to stay open for most of the remainder of construction. However, there will be brief periods when a full closure is necessary to allow crews to complete specific work.

Motorists are encouraged to follow posted detours, use caution while traveling through the work zone, and remain alert for construction workers.

The City will continue to share updates as the project moves through each phase. We appreciate the public’s patience and cooperation as we work to improve roadway conditions and enhance safety for our community.
