Pedestrian crosswalk or skybridge; conduct study to determine feasibility of constructing at MVSU.

HB 803 requires Mississippi Valley State University (MVSU), in collaboration with the Mississippi Department of Transportation and Leflore County officials, to study the feasibility of building an elevated pedestrian crossing or skybridge at the intersection of U.S. Highway 82 and Sunflower Road (County Road 507) in Itta Bena. The study must examine funding sources, cost-benefit analysis, existing examples in Mississippi and other states, community benefits, previous efforts, and constraints like highway expansion plans. The report, due by December 15, 2026, will inform future decisions but does not authorize construction. This bill directly affects MVSU students, staff, visitors, and the local community seeking safer campus access.
