- 4.5 Biloxi Bay Bridge (227 reviews)
-Wonderful Sunset Vantage Point
Spent 1-2 hours Bridges
We saw the bridge all lit up against the night sky from the 28th floor of our hotel on Sunday night, which made us want to see it up close during daylight. So we took a drive across the Biloxi Bay Bridge. We noticed that it was built with a very wide pedestrian lane, separated by a high concrete wall to protect joggers and walkers from vehicle traffic. We counted about two dozen pedestrians taking advantage of the protected space to enjoy a lovely afternoon stroll/jog across the span. The bridge is about 1.5 miles long so, if you're into endurance walking, this is a great venue, both for distance and climbing the span's center arch. At the east end of the bridge, you can park your car and walk out onto a long pier built between the bay bridge and an old railroad bridge. Sunset photography is spectacular from this vantage point.

- 4.5 Vicksburg Bridge (22 reviews)
-Cool spot - Don't skip it. Nice views
Saturday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Spent < 1 hour Points of Interest & Landmarks • Bridges
This is a very cool stop. Make it a point to pull off the interstate as you cross the Mississippi River between Louisiana and Mississippi. There is a historical marker for the Vicksburg Siege on May 16, 1863 when Ulysses Grant's army surrounded John Pemberton's. The Confederacy surrendered on July 4 of the same year. The whole stop takes about 15 minutes. It's a single building with restrooms and an incredible view of the dual bridges over the Mississippi river. Cannons are set up below the building overlooking the river. It's just cool. You probably need a restroom break from the highway, so why not stop and take in the view. See more..

-Bobbie Gentry's hometown bridge
Spent 1-2 hours Bridges
I recall the haunting song by Bobbie Gentry. I imagined myself that girl sitting there, probably staring at her plate, twirling her fork around, unable to take a bite at the shocking news she just heard, as her family sits around her talking about Billy Joe McAlister while she wants to run, scream, cry out in disbelief. So, when we took a trip to Mississippi, I knew this had to be a stop. The city has done a nice job of marking the city bridge with a bright historic marker with information on both sides. The plaque on the bridge gives its official name and the date 1954 when it was built. But, this bridge isn't on Choctaw Ridge, it's a few blocks from the Greenwood Courthouse. No matter, the double-sided plaque tells the story of Bobbie Gentry, it's a bridge in her hometown, and that was enough for this fan. See more..
