Looks like Irish Hill won’t be your alterate route to escape Scrapin’ traffic this wekeend – at least during the daytime.
Hemphill Construction is closing Irish Hill from Summer Place to St. Paul during daylight hours through Monday to install a new water main along the roadway. The closure, which is actually from 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., will detour traffic to Father Ryan Avenue.
As work progresses, expect to see daytime closures from Hubbard Place west to White Avenue and White Avenue east to Azalea Drive. Work is expected to be completed within 15 business days.
The work is part of an 800-day, $23 million project to see new water, sewer and drainage installed in an area from downtown Biloxi to Seashore Methodist, south of the CSX Railway.
