SUMMARY: Harrison County leaders are celebrating the reopening of the Minge Avenue overpass, a key component for future economic development in South Mississippi. Supervisor Marlon Ladner highlighted the successful collaboration among various agencies, noting the project’s completion ahead of schedule. The $18 million bridge expansion, primarily funded by a $15 million bond from Harrison County, enhances the area’s infrastructure to support the anticipated arrival of the Buc-ee’s travel center in 2025. Ladner emphasized that Buc-ee’s presence will substantially benefit not just West Harrison County, but the broader Gulf Coast region, attracting further business growth.
