Problem is people lose their ability to drive going over the pearl river bridge on i10
And the detour takes you up to Texas Flat Road to near Picayune or MS-43 into Picayune proper. You have to take that detour in Bay St. Louis thanks to the security around Stennis.
It would be nice to detour using 607, but good luck getting through the gate on either end of Stennis.
Fun little story about the gate at Stennis, in 2014 a Houma baw got lost and must have been on the good stuff. He tried to drive on 607, but was stopped at the north gate. So, he was lost. He couldn’t find his way back home and eventually ditched his car in one of the side roads. He eventually left his car, phone, and his clothes in the woods. He walked around the woods and broke into a utility shed for warmth. The SO found him 24 hours later in the shed nekkid as a jail bird.

Thank God we can afford a football coach though
All supported by The money either donated or made by the athletics dept. Why the frick should this money go to a federal Highway?

LSU Football and TAF donations do not pay for street repairs.

Are there any pictures of all these bridges?
Posted on 12/26/25 at 1:52 pm to cbree88
Here is what I got from Google Maps Street View:
East Pearl - 2019
West Pearl - 2025
Looks like the West Pearl is the one with the major issues.
Street view was still showing you can access the boat launch from the East Pearl River Bridge.
The biggest issue with the project is that it may entail having to build 2 movible bridges, and 4 smaller bridges over the water between the 2 bridges. All of those bridges were built a long time ago when they didn't build bridges with shoulders and lower weight limits.
It also seems like DOTD has gone away from building bridges with Metal. Most bridges now are concrete and some even have concrete moveable decks instead of lighter metal grates.
This is the Bourg Bridge that opened this year it has a concrete movable span:
This is the new Galliano Bridge that has a concrete structure, but the center moveable span will be metal. In this photo they still have not moved it into place. This project too is falling behind. I was supposed to be completed in May of 2025, but it is still under construction. At least the contractor, order the hurricane traffic poles and they are installed. This intersection will only have a flashing light and not a stop light.

Yep, it’s government malpractice to not have US 90 open.
Eh. Broke-arse State can’t fix shite.
If you want nice things reform the tax and legal code, crack the unions and deregulate.
