The Bridgeport Road Bridge is the last bridge over the Strong River, about 4.5 river miles above its confluence with the Pearl River at a point 2 river miles below the Georgetown Bridge. The Bridgeport Road Bridge is southeast of Georgetown, Mississippi, 6 miles from the intersection of Highways 27 and 28 in Georgetown, and located by traveling 3 miles east of the intersection to Bridgeport Road and then 3 miles south on Bridgeport Road to the Strong River. The bridge is 1.7 miles north of the community of Bridgeport, as indicated on digital maps, and is in zip code 39149. Access the river from the northwest corner of the bridge and sample at the water's edge. A mown path leads from a road pullout to the steep, but negotiable, sandy river bank.
Keep your distance from other people.
Practicing social distancing is still essential. Only go to the beach if you are able to keep 6 feet or 2 meters away from others. Follow the instructions provided by your local health authorities. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter our efforts to curb the virus’s spread.
