Gulf Coast Bridge Fire Destroys Bay St. Louis Link
A fire burned through the east end of the Bay St. Louis Henderson Point bridge, part of Highway 90, late evening and destroyed the walkway and creosoted piles. It took five hours to control, with fire crews keeping a firebreak to save the rest of the structure. Investigators suspect a carelessly discarded cigarette may have started the blaze. Traffic detours rerouted motorists via Gulfport to Lyman and on to Pollardville and Highway 11 toward New Orleans. The blaze left only pile stubble along the span.
