SUMMARY: The Hanshaw Road Bridge in Ocean Springs is closed due to failing its state inspection, requiring repairs or replacement. Parents of students at Ocean Springs Middle School are advised to plan ahead as traffic patterns will change, particularly with increased congestion around the school and nearby intersections. The school district emphasizes the need for extra patience and suggests that parents leave earlier for school and work to accommodate potential delays. The bridge will be reinspected once repairs are completed to determine its safety for reopening. Additional information on detours and updates will be provided on the district’s website.

The state must complete a re-inspection before the bridge can be reopened.
