JACKSON, MS (WLBT) - Starting Monday December 10, the City of Jackson will start work on the next phase of the State Street Reconstruction Project.
This phase will completely reconstruct State Street from Hartfield Street to Choctaw Road.
When finished, State Street will have all new pavement, water lines, sewer lines, curb/gutter, drainage lines, transit shelters, sidewalks and traffic signals.
This segment of work is expected to last into Summer 2019.
Impact to State Street Traffic
