JACKSON, Miss.--If you're traveling for the Thanksgiving holiday you'll want to be aware of some possible traffic hazzards on Mississippi roadways. The Miss. Dept. of Transportation sent us a list of closures that could possibly present problems:

No closures to report in Districts Two, Three, Six, or Seven.
