TEMPORARY CHANGES TO DOWNTOWN TRAFFIC FLOW

Sep 8th, 2025

Effective Monday, September 8, 2025, until further notice, drivers traveling St. Joseph Street between Bienville Square and the RSA Trustmark Building will notice a minor change to the way traffic moves through this area.

Only southbound traffic will be able to access St. Joseph Street, between St. Francis Street and Dauphin Street, during this temporary closure. Northbound traffic will not be allowed. Drivers traveling southbound will still be able to access the parking garage, however, the traffic spaces along the east end of Bienville Square will be blocked off while work continues in this area. Signage will be added throughout the day on Monday alerting drivers of the changes.

Four large generators are blocking portions of the northbound lane while repairs continue on the RSA Trustmark Building.

Plans are already in place for emergency responders to access this area if need be. The change in traffic flow is not expected to have major impacts, as crews are working to complete the job as quickly as possible.
