Culkin light

Published 12:00 am Wednesday, January 21, 2004

Traffic flows under the new lights at U.S. 61 North and Culkin Road Tuesday, the first day the signals began flashing yellow. They are to be in full operation with red, green and yellow lights on Monday, said Lucy Hurst, Mississippi Department of Transportation assistant district engineer. The light is the third in the 2 12-mile stretch of road between Interstate 20 and Bowie Road, where the first was installed about four years ago. Development along that stretch has been intense and wrecks, some fatal, have been frequent in recent years as Warren County’s population has grown to the northeast.(Jon Giffin The Vicksburg Post)
