SUMMARY: The Hanshaw Road Bridge in Ocean Springs has reopened to traffic after being closed in March by state officials for necessary repairs. Jackson County funded the replacement and repair work. While crews are still reattaching water and sewer lines over the coming days, traffic is now able to move over the bridge again. However, these ongoing utility reconnections mean traffic may be reduced to one lane at times during the final stages of the repair process. The bridge reopening restores an important route for the Ocean Springs community after months of closure.

Over the next few weeks, work crews will install water and sewer lines on the side of the bridge.
