Water flows beneath the South George Street Bridge, which is set to be replaced by early summer. City leaders say the culvert-style replacement will improve pedestrian safety and access.
After years of safety concerns and weight restrictions, the South George Street Bridge in Petal is being replaced — a project city leaders say could also support future pedestrian connections between Petal and Hattiesburg.
The bridge, which has been closed to vehicle traffic since 2023, will be demolished and replaced by early summer with a culvert-style bridge designed for both cars and pedestrians.

MERIDIAN, Miss. — No. 2 Pearl River baseball split a two-game round robin tournament Saturday, homering four times as it defeated Northwest 7-3 before it fell 7-1 against Meridian.
"You have got to separate the games," head coach Michael Avalon said. "I don't think we played great in the first game, but we played well enough to win. We've got to do a better job of scoring runners in scoring position. We also have to do a better job of making big pitches and getting out of jams."
