Old bridges repaired

Published 12:30 pm Friday, May 14, 2010

Inmates from the Mississippi Department of Corrections Hinds County Work Center spent much of Thursday and the past three weeks working to repair concrete bridges along U.S. 80 in Hinds County just east of the Big Black River. Over time, chunks of the railings have crumbled or been hit, leaving gaping holes. Working here are Howard Clark, front, and Eric Waaga. Each bridge takes about a week to repair, and the crew expects to complete the job in the next two weeks.
