Description
This modern structural-steel bridge, connecting the city of Natchez with Vidalia, is the tallest bridge in the state of Mississippi. The original cantilever span was completed in 1940, stretching out for 4200 feet over the Mississippi River. Overwhelmed with daily traffic, a twin bridge followed in 1988. Looking very similar, the newest bridge in the foreground is 18 feet wider, adding inside and outside shoulders and 11 foot lanes. With over two million people within a 200 mile radius, the twin bridges average over 30,000 vehicles every day.
This bridge view from a bluff on the southern side of U.S. Route 84 in Natchez shows off its handsome three million dollar lighting project. A united effort by the city of Vidalia, Louisiana, and the State of Mississippi, the project hopes to increase the area's appeal and offers another scenic attraction.
