After more than a year of construction, the Pinehaven Bridge is now officially open to traffic.

The bridge replacement project, which began in April 2025, involved the complete reconstruction of the bridge crossing Bogue Chitto Creek. The new structure was designed to improve long-term safety, increase reliability, and provide a stronger transportation connection for residents and motorists traveling through the area.

The project required the closure of Pinehaven Drive for approximately 13 months while crews removed the aging bridge and constructed a new, modern replacement. Throughout the project, residents navigated detours and changing traffic patterns as construction progressed.

The completed bridge is taller and wider than the previous structure and was built to better withstand future flooding events while providing a safer route for daily travel.

City officials recognize the inconvenience the closure created for residents, businesses, and commuters who rely on Pinehaven Drive. The City appreciates the patience and understanding shown by the community throughout the duration of the project.

The reopening of the bridge marks the completion of one of the City’s most significant infrastructure projects in recent years and restores a critical connection between neighborhoods on both sides of Bogue Chitto Creek.

The City of Clinton thanks residents for their continued support as infrastructure improvements are made to enhance safety and mobility throughout the community.
