Biloxi Bay Bridge, Road bridge over Biloxi Bay between Biloxi and Ocean Springs, Mississippi, United States.
The Biloxi Bay Bridge carries U.S. Route 90 over Biloxi Bay between Biloxi and Ocean Springs, Mississippi. The rebuilt span is 129 feet wide with three lanes of traffic in each direction, and a 12-foot path for pedestrians and cyclists runs along its Gulf side.
The original bridge suffered severe damage during Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and required complete reconstruction. The rebuilt structure was finished in late 2007 with reinforced design features to withstand future major storms.
The bridge links Biloxi and Ocean Springs, enabling daily movement between residents of these two Mississippi coastal towns. It serves as a vital crossing point where locals and visitors regularly interact through their journeys.
The bridge is easy to cross on foot or by bicycle thanks to the dedicated path on the Gulf side. Plan to cross during calmer weather and lighter traffic periods for a more pleasant experience.
The new span is 129 feet wide and was designed to withstand hurricane-force winds and waves like those of Katrina. Its contract required one lane open in each direction within 18 months; GC Constructors and subcontractor Parsons delivered the whole job in 20 months for $339 million.
