The alignment was still from about Howard Ave. That span was replaced in probably the late 1950's, with the span that one can still see – the dedicated fishing pier. It was a scary little structure, with but a tiny walkway, on the outside – just wide enough for one to fish, but with cars passing only feet away. That bridge was a narrow, two-land affair, with a turntable section, over the channel into Back Bay Biloxi, to allow the commercial fishing boats, and sailboats to pass. Back in the 1950's, Hwy 90 turned north at Point Cadet, and met up with Howard Ave, making a sharp right turn, to the bridge. The first, that I recall, was very close to that alignment. One can still be seen, as it is now a fishing pier, somewhat parallel to this new bridge. Two others were also damaged by hurricanes, but were also in different locations. It is new, since Hurricane Katrina destroyed the previous bridge. This is the fourth bridge between Biloxi and Ocean Springs, that I can recall, from growing up on the MS Gulf Coast. Though we were staying in Biloxi (and then Gulfport), we visited Ocean Springs, and then the Gulf Hills, and D’Iberville areas a few times. On our February visit to the Mississippi Gulf Coast, we probably crossed the Biloxi-Ocean Springs Bridge 8 times.
