Update: Seawall contractor to start cleaning clogged drain on Friday

BAY ST. LOUIS Here’s the latest on the seawall drainage problems near the U.S. 90 bridge:

Corps of Engineers spokesman Pat Robbins responded by email today that the contractor,
Tropical World Landscaping and Construction of Gulfport, was given notice to proceed on Monday. They did a walk-through of the area with a Corps representative today and will begin cleaning the clogged drain with hand tools on Friday.

Heavy equipment will be moved in on Monday when major cleaning will begin.

We’ll keep updating this project until things are fixed.
