Ocean Springs, Biloxi move forward with replacement of bridge lights By Tristan Ruppert | February 18, 2021 at 6:49 AM CST - Updated February 18 at 6:50 AM
OCEAN SPRINGS, Miss. (WLOX) - The future of the Biloxi-Ocean Springs bridge looks a little brighter as cities push forward to secure new lights across the busy bridge.
On Wednesday, the City of Ocean Springs approved the memorandum of understanding with the City of Biloxi and the Mississippi Department of Transportation.
This means once MDOT replaces all the light fixtures on the bridge with new LED lights, the maintenance and upkeep will fall to the cities of Ocean Springs and Biloxi to maintain. Next, the two cities will determine which portions of the bridge each city will be responsible for.
While drivers in central Mississippi deal with a third day of treacherous road conditions and the potential for a second wave of winter weather, new information from tMDOT reveals at least two factors that likely made the impact of that snow and ice on roads even worse.
