Mississippi DOT Cameras — Live Road Cameras & Map
All Mississippi DOT cameras — interactive statewide map
About this map
Mississippi drives on its interstates, and the Mississippi Department of Transportation watches them through MDOT Traffic, the public-facing window at mdottraffic.com into the state's traffic operations. Our Mississippi DOT camera map gathers roughly 395 of those live cameras into one fast, searchable view so you can see I-55, I-20, I-10, I-59 and the rest of the network before you commit to a drive. Coverage is heaviest in the Jackson metro and along the Gulf Coast, where MDOT runs the densest clusters, and reaches out to Hattiesburg, the DeSoto County suburbs below Memphis, Meridian, Tupelo, Vicksburg and the Delta.
The backbone is the interstate network. I-55 is the north-south spine, running 290-plus miles from the Tennessee line at Southaven, just below Memphis, through Jackson and on past Brookhaven and McComb to the Louisiana border near Osyka. I-20 crosses east-west, entering over the Mississippi River at Vicksburg, merging briefly with I-55 through Jackson, and continuing to Meridian and the Alabama line. I-59 climbs from Louisiana through Picayune, Hattiesburg and Laurel to Meridian, where it joins I-20 to the state line. Along the bottom of the state, I-10 traces the Gulf Coast for about 77 miles from Louisiana through Bay St. Louis, Gulfport, Biloxi and Pascagoula toward Mobile, Alabama. Add I-220, the Jackson bypass linking I-55 and I-20, plus the major US routes, US-49 from Gulfport through Hattiesburg to Jackson and the Delta, and US-61, the Blues Highway up the Mississippi River through Vicksburg, Greenville and Clarksdale toward Memphis, and you have the roads that carry the state.
One thing to know up front: these MDOT cameras do not carry native road-weather sensors on the public feed. To give you conditions anyway, each camera on our map is paired with the nearest National Weather Service airport station, so the temperature, wind and sky you see is the nearest airport's conditions shown alongside each camera rather than an on-pavement measurement. That is genuinely useful for tracking a line of storms or a tropical system moving in, but treat it as air weather near the road, not a surface-temperature reading. On a rare icy morning, bridges and overpasses can be freezing even when the airport gauge looks marginal, so use the camera picture itself as your final check.

Statewide
The full Mississippi picture across every interstate and major route MDOT monitors, from the Tennessee line at Southaven down I-55 to Louisiana, east-west on I-20 from Vicksburg to Meridian, and along the Gulf Coast on I-10. Use this view to scan the long spines, I-55, I-20, I-10 and I-59, when you are planning a cross-state drive or watching a storm system move across Dixie Alley. Each camera is paired with the nearest NWS airport station for conditions.
Jackson
The densest coverage in the state, centered on the capital. This view holds the I-55 and I-20 interchange through downtown, where the two interstates briefly run together across the Pearl River, the I-220 bypass looping the north and west sides, and the US-49 corridor heading toward Hattiesburg and the Gulf. It is the place to check before any rush-hour run through Jackson, Ridgeland, Madison, Pearl or Clinton, and a key watch point when the Pearl River rises and threatens flooding. Conditions come from the nearest airport station.
Gulf Coast
The I-10 and US-90 corridors along the bottom of the state through Hancock, Harrison and Jackson counties: Bay St. Louis, Gulfport, Biloxi and Pascagoula toward the Alabama line and Mobile. This is hurricane and tropical-storm country, where I-10 and US-49 become the evacuation routes when a storm threatens, and where US-90 hugs the beachfront casinos and the Gulf itself. Cameras here are essential in storm season and on busy summer weekends. Each image is matched to the nearest NWS airport for weather.
Hattiesburg & the Pine Belt
The I-59 corridor through the Pine Belt, where the interstate runs concurrently with US-98 through Hattiesburg and with US-84 through Laurel on its way north to Meridian. US-49 crosses here too, the four-lane link from the Gulf Coast up toward Jackson, passing the University of Southern Mississippi and Camp Shelby. A heavily traveled freight and evacuation route, and a frequent target for the severe storms and tornadoes that sweep this part of the state. Weather is drawn from the nearest airport reading.
DeSoto & Southaven
The northern gateway below Memphis, where I-55 enters from Tennessee through Southaven and Hernando, I-69 and I-269 form the outer Memphis beltway across DeSoto County through Olive Branch, and the suburbs sprawl toward the Tennessee line. This is fast, busy commuter and truck traffic feeding the Memphis metro, and a winter trouble spot on the rare days ice reaches this far south. Cameras here are matched to the nearest airport station for conditions.
Meridian
The eastern crossroads where I-20 and I-59 meet and run together to the Alabama state line near York. This is the gateway to the Deep South via Alabama, a major truck corridor, and a frequent spot for severe weather rolling in from the west. A compact but important set of cameras covering the interchange and the approaches that knot up when there is a crash or a storm. Conditions shown are the nearest airport's reading.
The Delta
The flat, fertile northwest of the state along US-61, the Blues Highway, running up the Mississippi River through Vicksburg, Greenville, Cleveland and Clarksdale toward Memphis, plus the US-49 corridor and the Greenwood area. This is blues country and farm country, exposed to river and backwater flooding and to the tornadoes that track across the Delta from the southwest. Coverage is thinner here than in the metros, so expect bigger gaps between cameras. Each is paired with the nearest NWS airport for weather.
Tips for using Mississippi road cameras
- Coverage is concentrated where the traffic is. The Jackson metro and the Gulf Coast have by far the most cameras, with solid clusters around Hattiesburg, the DeSoto County suburbs, Meridian and Vicksburg. The Delta and the rural stretches between cities are thinner, so plan on bigger gaps between cameras once you leave the metros.
- Use the area presets to skip the scrolling. Tapping Jackson, Gulf Coast or DeSoto & Southaven jumps you straight to that part of the network instead of hunting across the whole state.
- Remember the weather is from the nearest airport, not the pavement. The temperature and wind next to each camera is the closest NWS airport's reading. It is great for tracking an incoming storm line or a tropical system, but on a rare icy morning the bridge deck can be freezing while the airport gauge reads above 32, so trust the camera image.
- In hurricane season, watch the Gulf Coast and the evacuation routes. When a storm threatens, I-10, I-59 and US-49 carry the northbound traffic off the coast, and MDOT can run contraflow on I-59 and I-55. Check the cameras along these corridors before you leave, and follow official MEMA and MDOT evacuation orders, not just the camera picture.
- Mississippi is in Dixie Alley, so treat the cameras as a severe-weather tool. When a tornado watch or a squall line is moving through, the cameras can show you blinding rain, downed trees or stopped traffic on I-20, I-55 or I-59 before you drive into it. Pair the image with the nearest airport's wind reading.
- Watch the rivers, not just the sky. The Pearl River can flood low-lying Jackson, the Delta and the Vicksburg area flood along the Mississippi and its backwaters, and dense fog settles into the river bottoms. A quick look at the cameras in those corridors shows you standing water and visibility before you commit to the route.
