The Mississippi Transportation Commission’s June 9, 2026 agenda authorized three new or supplemental design actions for the I-20/I-55 freight corridor in Hinds and Rankin counties. Their non-duplicative amounts add to $1,825,982.79. That total is for the recorded design and utility-engineering actions—not construction and not the corridor’s total project cost.
The three actions
From the approved agenda:
| Agenda item | Recorded work | New amount used here |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | Draft-final and final roadway plans and deliverables | $683,137.59 |
| 6 | Draft-final and final bridge plans and deliverables | $867,888.09 |
| 13 | Additional subsurface utility engineering | $274,957.11 |
The calculation is $683,137.59 + $867,888.09 + $274,957.11 = $1,825,982.79.
Item 13 also gives a revised utility-engineering assignment total of $564,849.28. We did not add that revised total, because it includes earlier work. Adding both $274,957.11 and $564,849.28 would count the supplement twice.
What stage this record supports
The descriptions concern plans, deliverables, bridge design, and subsurface utility engineering. Those tasks can precede construction and inform right-of-way or project decisions. They do not establish a construction contract, active lane closure, property acquisition, or completion schedule.
The project identifiers in the agenda—NHPP-0020-01(291)/109486-101200 and 102200—are more reliable search keys than a shortened corridor name. Use the Commission record route and later MDOT notices to follow subsequent actions.
What residents should not infer
The agenda does not, through these three items alone, establish:
- a final construction scope;
- total project funding or cost;
- a construction bidder or award;
- right-of-way effects for a particular parcel;
- utility relocations at a particular address;
- work-zone dates; or
- substantial completion.
A maximum work-assignment amount is also not proof that the maximum was spent.
How to track the record
Save the project numbers, meeting date, agenda items, work-assignment identifiers, amounts, and described deliverables. For each later record, label it as design, environmental, right-of-way, utility, procurement, construction, traffic, or closeout. That prevents a planning action from being mistaken for work on the ground.
Source and methodology
Local Service Ledger reviewed MDOT’s June 9 agenda and Commission route on August 1, 2026. We transcribed the three actions, excluded the revised total that would double count prior work, and checked the sum twice. We did not visit the corridor, evaluate a consultant, or verify any construction activity.
