JACKSON COUNTY, MS (WLOX) -

One lane of I-10 westbound between mile marker 70 and 71 has been closed while MDOT repairs a portion of the road that has collapsed.

Kelly Castleberry with Mississippi Department of Transportation confirmed there is a void at one of the box culverts on I-10 westbound.

Castleberry said the void is on the shoulder and has affected one lane as well which is why one lane has been closed.

Castleberry said traffic is flowing, but it is moving slower than normal because one lane is closed. 

Motorists are urged to use caution. Castleberry said the hole has been filled with concrete, and they are waiting on the concrete to set.
