When will the bridge work in Pearlington start? No one seems to know.
SUMMARY: The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development has no current plans to schedule the bridge replacement project on Highway 90 in Pearlington, according to LDOT Communications Director Rodney Mallett. The $250 million project is yet to receive funding or a project number. The bridge, along with four others in Louisiana, was closed in 2022 for being unsafe and is part of a hurricane evacuation route used by 3,000 cars daily. MDOT’s advisory states the bridge would close in May 2022 with estimated project completion in 2028, however, Mallett claims these dates are placeholders, as the project hasn’t started.
