City, county leaders apply for grants to replace Glendale Ave bridges
SUMMARY: Hattiesburg and the Forest County Board of Supervisors are collaborating to replace two deteriorating bridges on Glendale Avenue, one in Forest County and another within Hattiesburg city limits. These bridges, which span a river and railroad tracks, face projected poor conditions by 2026. To fund the estimated $5.4 million project, city and county leaders aim to apply for a federal grant through the Bridge Investment Program, which allocates over $2 billion for bridge repairs nationwide in fiscal year 2025. Securing this funding is vital due to escalating costs and the increasing urgency of maintaining infrastructure.
