Pearl River County officials excited about possibility of more bridge money By Mike Lacy | February 18, 2021 at 6:29 PM CST - Updated February 19 at 6:51 AM
PEARL RIVER COUNTY, Miss. (WLOX) - Counties and cities across the state literally will hit the lottery if a new bill passed by the Mississippi Senate becomes law. Senate Bill 2825 would redirect $80 million of lottery revenue from the Mississippi Department of Transportation to the Emergency Road and Bridge Repair Fund for three years.
Now, Pearl River County officials are excited. The bridge on Shorty Burgess Road just outside of Picayune is the only bridge in Pearl River County closed by the state. That’s a good thing because funds are hard to come by.
