Work on Beachview Bridge paused to move water, sewer lines
SUMMARY: Much-needed repairs to the Beach View Drive bridge in Gulf Park Estates are delayed until water and sewer lines are moved. The bridge is currently suitable for cars and SUVs but not for large school buses and trucks. County road crews are ready to reinforce the bridge, but a private utility company must first relocate the attached water and sewer mains. Jackson County Supervisor Randy Bosar noted challenges due to the utility's recent change in ownership. The bridge will eventually be rebuilt as part of a widening plan for Gulf View Drive, with the first phase beginning soon. The construction contract may be awarded at Monday's board meeting.

Tropical Storm Beryl: Trey and Charlie 9:00 PM 6/28
SUMMARY: Meteorologists are closely monitoring tropical developments in the Atlantic, noting the formation of a potential tropical storm. Initially appearing as a cluster of thunderstorms near the Equator, it has evolved into a more organized, circular system resembling a tropical storm or hurricane. The National Hurricane Center has issued a cone of uncertainty, indicating a high likelihood of it developing into a hurricane within the next two days. The cone starts narrow, reflecting higher certainty in the short-term forecast, and widens over time due to increasing uncertainty. Continuous monitoring is essential as significant changes can occur before potential impacts on the Caribbean.
