Grant Avenue within Vicksburg National Military Park is closed to all motor vehicles and pedestrians. The road closure is due to extremely dangerous road conditions caused by the recent heavy rains and is effective immediately.

“This is a dangerous situation,” said Park Superintendent Bill Justice in a statement. “For their safety, we strongly recommend that people stay away from this area.”

The rest of the park remains open for motor vehicle and pedestrian use.
