UPDATE:

State Highway 465 is now closed from U.S. Highway 61 North to the Gin at Eagle Lake; however, residents can travel the levee around to Tara and come out on Eagle Lake Shore Road.

Original story:

MDOT will be closing Mississippi Highway 465 at Eagle Lake at 5 p.m. today due to flooding concerns.

The road will be closed from the intersection with U.S. Highway 61 to the Backwater Levee Road. Anyone caught going around barricades will be cited for disregard of a traffic control device.

Light traffic can use the Backwater Levee. Large trucks and commercial vehicles are directed to travel through Onward to the Main Line Levee.
