The bridge is open! After a long wait it looks like the bridge that will serve as a connector of the east and west has opened for traffic. This is a great success for the Jury as it is professionally engineered and appears to be well built.
Besides serving the residents of Solitude, Jacko and surrounding areas, it is an important gateway to Cat Island National Wildlife Refuge. Tourists and other visitors can access the park through the town, rather than by-passing it! One vision being looked at is connecting the riverfront, Cat Island and St. Francisville in a way that could even include the soon-to-be-built Tunica State Preserve and Interpretive Center!
Thanks to the Police Jury for rebuilding this important link that can make this possible!
