The end of the spring semester at Ole Miss brings a welcome break from traffic for locals, but the student exodus also means work crews will be taking advantage of the lull to make improvements to city streets.
On Wednesday, city crews began work at the intersection of South Lamar Boulevard and Pea Ridge Road to remove existing asphalt and improve the safety of the busy intersection, city officials say.
When completed, the intersection will have a 90-degree, right-angle turn off of South Lamar similar to the intersections at Whippoorwill, Office Park Drive and Veterans Drive.
Drivers are being cautioned to drive slowly through the construction area and be mindful that vehicles may brake sharply until they become acclimated to the change.
