In a surprising move the Harrison County Board of Supervisors have announced the closure of one of the main hurricane evacuation routes for Pass Christian residents during the peak of the 2022 hurricane season. As noted below Menge Avenue will be closed from October 3 - December 19 2022. When asked about this issue, neither the Mayor of Pass Christian nor any of the Board members were aware of this closure. Although it’s important that this work needs to be done, the timing of this work is questionable. Not only are there several potential storms brewing, Crusin the Coast is just around the corner. Furthermore social media has been lit up by concerned citizens expressing their outrage on the timing of this work. Regardless citizens need to be aware of this and plan to use alternate routes during the closure of Menge Ave.

UPCOMING ROAD CLOSURE - Menge Avenue for underground road work. Please use caution and be patient.
