Notes from Kevin Magee, District Engineer …on FY 2010 projects: “We opened the beautiful new U.S. Highway 82 Mississippi River Bridge near Greenville in 2010. It’s a quantum leap over the old bridge, and people here have eagerly watched its design and construction unfold over many years. The new bridge is magnificent and at the same time it’s much less intimidating for drivers than the old, narrow, steep structure. The new bridge is also plenty wide so there is no need to stop traffic every time large farm equipment needs to cross. We’re working on removing the old bridge, which will make barge navigation on the Mississippi River much safer.” …on ARRA funding: “When stimulus money became available we put it to immediate use maintaining and improving highways. We all know that maintaining our highways is key to making them last longer and upholding safety and the level of service for motorists, but with tight budgets, pavement preservation often must be deferred. ARRA funding helped us reduce our backlog of overlays, chip sealing, and other pavement maintenance. We got projects out as quickly as possible in Spring 2009 and continued through FY 2010.” …on challenges: “Money continues to be the biggest challenge for our district, and it’s the number one issue in transportation nationwide. Even with our national focus shift from new construction to maintaining what we have, there is simply not enough state, federal, or local funding for highways or any other transportation mode. Frankly, if funding levels stay the same, we could expect the condition and safety of our roads to deteriorate over time— despite MDOT achieving the highest possible efficiency in its operations and practices.” …on employees going the extra mile: “On April 24, 2010, a tornado hit our District office in Yazoo City, severely damaging the District headquarters and obliterating our maintenance and construction project offices. Our buildings were gone and much of our equipment was under rubble—some destroyed—and yet we had to get out to clear the roads so that first responders could assist other tornado victims. Our employees did an excellent job formulating a plan of action and assembling the personnel and resources needed to respond effectively. The tornado hit around noon on a Saturday, and we had all the roads cleared before dark that night, including county and city routes where we assisted local maintenance personnel. Other districts and our Jackson headquarters jumped to action and we had all the manpower and equipment we needed, and then some. It’s good to know we have that kind of support from all levels.” …on the road ahead: “As we undertake the maintenance and construction work slated for 2011, the issue at the top of my list is the safety of my employees and the traveling public, mainly related to work zones. To get our work done, we have to put our employees in harm’s way every day out there in work zones. We implement every countermeasure we can and alert people to slow down, and yet we are still at the mercy of distracted drivers—one of the top highway safety issues nationwide.” 29
