It's all State Maintenance. The only things the Feds do is provide funding and the loads of red tape that come with it.

The worst example I saw was I-10 over the Jourdan River near Diamond Head.
Isn’t that a newish bridge or upgraded bridge that was widened to 6 lanes about 20 or so years ago before Katrina?
Can’t be as bad as the death trap called the I-10 Pearl River bridge with no shoulders, a steep grade, and a guard rail from the 1970’s.
Plus it was made to open like a draw bridge to transport equipment to Stennis before it was converted to a fixed center span.

should already be a candidate for a widening to 6 lanes, larger inside and outside shoulders,
As long as the EPA is around, won’t happen.

Those were piles for the forms. Structural stuff looks fine. Chill

LSU doesn’t have a quarterback right now and you want us to worry about a bridge?!

Maintained by the state but paid for with federal funds.

I think so, I only started driving that direction in 2010. It would have been the early 2000’s before Katrina that both the Diamondhead bridge widening and the Pearl River I-10 bridge conversion was done.
On the other hand, the real oddity of the interstate highway system in Mississippi wasn’t last week’s discussion on the beach ramps of I-110 in Biloxi, but the fact that I-110 can actually open for tall boat traffic in the Bay and still has its metal grate for the lift able spans. I also love the fact that DOTD workers that operate a bridge that maybe opens just a few times a year get to park a state vehicle up there on the shoulder. Not sure if all the bridge tenders get the perks of a state issued vehicle or it is a shared vehicle so bridge tenders are not parking personal vehicles up there.

The perils (and stupidity) of believing what you see/read/hear on social media.
Dear Facebook
It's only going to get worse as AI gets more mainstream and legitimate news outlets shut down.

That's gonna cost 50 billion dollars.

$10 billion worth of studies must take place beforehand.

If they are remnants, they might be extras in case the bridge were to be struck by a boat.
The Causeway has an array of spare parts near the north end of the bridge, a few sections and some extra pilings to pile into fix the bridge if it were hit by a boat.
