Several trees around the county apparently fell due to water-soaked soil caused by Tuesday’s heavy rainfall. Pictured is Dean Johnson as he surveys the 80-foot tree that fell in his yard, located on East Broadway. Johnson said due to the falling hackberry, his residence experienced foundation damage, roof damage and sheet rock damage.
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.
