A backup on Interstate 10 between Diamondhead and Menge Avenue slowed traffic in the eastbound lanes Thursday morning in an area with several construction projects.

The Mississippi Department of Transportation warned drivers to “expect major delays.” The traffic could last up to two hours, the agency said.

The traffic is in an area of the interstate with several construction projects that MDOT has said could slow drivers.

Crews are widening exit ramps into Diamondhead, adding lanes to the interstate between Diamondhead and County Farm Road near Long Beach and working on a bridge overpass near the site of the future Buc-ee’s travel center at Menge Avenue.

MDOT warned drivers to be cautious in the area.

A Mississippi Department of Transportation traffic map shows major delays on Interstate 10 in Hancock and Harrison counties.

Tesla's quarterly deliveries beat estimates on incentives; shares rally
Wall Street on average had expected Tesla to deliver 438,019 vehicles, according to 12 analysts polled by LSEG. Tesla, which ignited an EV price war more than a year earlier, has also offered discounts and incentives such as low-interest loans and cheaper leasing plans in the U.S., China and Europe, which have weighed on its margins. Tesla has been slow to refresh its car lineup at a time when rivals, especially in China, have come up with new affordable models, and as high interest rates dampen demand.
