Mississippi casinos closing at 10 a.m., complete shutdown at 4 p.m.
August 29, 2012
BILOXI, Mississippi — The Mississippi Gaming Commission has notified Biloxi and Gulfport casino operators that gaming patrons should be off the gaming floor by 10 a.m., and gaming floors should be completely shut down by 4 p.m.
Also in Biloxi, city contractors are now placing traffic signals on U.S. 90 in the flashing mode, with U.S. 90 motorists having the right of way.
The move allows engineers to remove costly electronics from the control boxes at each intersection, minimizing the risk of damage. MDOT had requested the action.
Motorists should stop at flashing red lights, and should use caution when approaching flashing yellow lights.
Intersections where traffic signals have been downed should be treated as four-way stops.
If you need a ride to an emergency storm shelter and have not pre-registered with Coast Transit, you must call now to make transportation arrangements. The cutoff time for pickup is 10 this morning, and all CTA buses will end service at noon today. To arrange a ride, call (228) 896-8080.
