Geocache Description:

You can experience this neat bridge up close and personal! Bridge can be approached from either side, but is closed to vehicle traffic. However, you can walk over it to get both caches.



THE BRIDGE:
Two-span Parker through truss built in 1915 or 1928 (conflicting data) and has a span of 176' and total length is 848'. It is designated as an official Mississippi landmark by the Mississippi Department of Archives and History.

THE RIVER:
This bridge is just south of where the Leaf and Chickasawhay rivers merge to form the Pascagoula river. If you look up river from the west side of the bridge, you should be able to see this point. It is about 80 miles long and is the only river in the United States that flows unobstructed into the Gulf of Mexico and is the only river totally in the Cfa (Humid Subtropical) Köppen Climate Zone.
