The Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) has completed the replacement of two bridges on State Route 245 near Shannon. The project included the removal of two deficient bridges over Chiwapa Creek and its tributaries.
SR 245 was closed, and construction began on March 10, 2022. New bridges were constructed, and the existing roadway, shoulders and slopes were widened. Repairs were also made on the middle bridge over Chiwapa Creek.
The $5.5 million project was awarded to Ste-Bil Grading, Inc. of Waterford.
