Replacement of Highway 90 Bridges at MS-LA State Line

planned

The project involves replacing five deteriorating bridges on Highway 90 at the Mississippi-Louisiana state line, including the West Pearl River Bridge, which has been closed since May 24, 2022 due to safety concerns. The bridges are critical for local communities, businesses, and hurricane evacuation routes. The project is stalled due to delays in federal funding through the Bridge Investment Program. Louisiana's transportation department estimates the cost to be between $150 million and $350 million. Designs are being prepared to enable immediate construction once funding is secured.
