21 road signs to honor Miss. notables
Mississippi highways are peppered with signs honoring sports figures, civil rights figures, military heroes and law enforcement officers who died in the line of duty, among others.
More will come this year. The 2011 Legislature authorized 21 signs to be erected along Mississippi roads to honor individuals or groups.
The Mississippi Department of Transportation is responsible for putting up the signs – ranging in cost from $3,000 to $5,000 each, according to MDOT figures. And it takes two signs one at end of the roadway or bridge.
