Notes from Darrell Broome, District Engineer …on FY 2010 projects: “Lighting the Mississippi River Bridges at Natchez was certainly a highlight of 2010, and it represents excellent coordination between MDOT, Louisiana, the City of Vidalia, and the City of Natchez. The bridge is beautiful at night and has attracted a lot of positive attention, which will be good for business and tourism in the area. Also in Natchez we completed the CFI, or continuous flow interchange, at U.S. Highways 61 and 84. Traffic flow is much better and we have the distinction of implementing the first CFI in Mississippi and one of the first in the U.S. Farther east on 84 we completed the Prentiss Bypass—one of the last segments of U.S. Highway 84 to be four-laned and a great improvement for regional truck movement as well as local circulation within Prentiss.” …on employees going the extra mile: “We get calls and letters throughout the year from motorists who have been assisted by our maintenance staff. It might not be a formal part of MDOT’s job to assist people with car trouble or travelers who are lost or have some type of emergency, but our employees see themselves as guardians of safety, and they genuinely care about the public on our roadways. Their gracious concern and ability to solve problems and get motorists safely on their way makes me proud and is a great credit to MDOT. They also keep an eye out for needed repairs or other issues that can be addressed on the spot to prevent problems and safety concerns.” …on challenges: “Making ends meet can be a challenge for residents of District 7, whether or not they are MDOT employees. This is a rural region of Mississippi, there are not a lot of jobs, and many people need to work more than one job to put food on the table. Although we love the rural character of the area, it means a lot of driving between homes, workplaces, and other errands, all of which can add hours of commuting onto an employee’s day. Despite this, MDOT’s District 7 employees have proven that they take their jobs seriously and are willing to do whatever it takes to excel, even putting in long hours of their own time learning new systems or improving their skills. Our employees demonstrate an excellent work ethic, and it is much appreciated.” …on the road ahead: “We continue to build relationships with the communities in our District, which really pays off when we coordinate with them to advance construction and maintenance projects. One way we have ‘put a face on MDOT’ is through our anti-litter program, led in District 7 by Barbara Mercier. Beyond the benefits of reducing litter, the program provides an opportunity for community outreach and introduces our students and other residents to MDOT employees. It makes us as a state agency more accessible to local residents, who come to understand that we are their partner in fighting litter, improving transportation, and strengthening their communities.” 35
