Satartia works to reduce flood damage

Residents of Satartia are fleeing the community as the Yazoo River continues to rise into homes adjacent to the waterway.
Those living on the Highway 3 side of the river bridge, however, can feel a little safer about their property in their absence. The Levee Board has been working throughout the week to connect the levee at the bridge, and secure it to prevent a breach. -------for the rest of the story see The Yazoo Herald printed edition or subscribe to the Digital Edition.----------
Dear Editor:
In the 6 April 2013 edition of The Yazoo Herald you published a letter from Cynthia Fuller, "Thanks to (Van) Foster for helping get bridge replaced."
After reading this lettter, I had the impression that the bridge was completed and traffic was moving along normally.
Wrong! Last Sunday I was on my way to homecoming at Providence Baptist Church. I turned north onto old 49 and saw the signs that the bridge was out. I assumed that they hadn't gotten around to removing the signs. I expected to cross Thompson Creek on the new bridge. When I approached the creek the road was barricaded and construction equipment was down in the creek.
Perhaps The Herald can keep us updated as to the progress being made on the new bridge.
