The Interstate 110 drawbridge malfunction is corrected and all lanes are reopened

The Interstate 110 drawbridge in Biloxi is back open after crews repaired a malfunction that kept the bridge stuck in the open position, according to the Mississippi Department of Transportation.

The drawbridge malfunction happened shortly around 1:15 p.m., an MDOT alert said, and traffic delays were expected for at least two hours or more.

All lanes of I-110 shut down as a result.

At 2:32 p.m. Monday, MDOT announced that the drawbridge malfunction had been corrected and all lanes of travel had been reopened.
