3/11/10 Update: Coventry Road Bridge is now open to traffic.
The Jackson County’s Road Department is announcing the Coventry Road Bridge in the Escatawpa Community will be closed for a major replacement project beginning Monday, December 7.
All drivers are asked to use caution around this construction site. Pay special attention to traffic signs, road workers and heavy equipment. The Coventry Bridge replacement is a “State Aid” project costing almost $200,000. This is the fourth bridge replacement project the County has undertaken in 2009.
Road crews will be removing the existing wooden piling bridge and installing a new 28 foot concrete box culvert bridge. The improvement work is expected to take four mouths, weather permitting. Residents will be able to detour using Saracennia Road or Wilson Springs Road.
