The Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) celebrated its 100th birthday on March 29, MS News Now reports. In celebration of 100 years, a time capsule was buried during a special ceremony held outside MDOT’s administration building in Jackson.
“Those that came before us did an unbelievable job building the system that we have,” Central MS Transportation Commissioner Dick Hall tells the news agency. “Now we’ve got to figure out a way to maintain this system and bring it back up to where it needs to be.”
