Biloxi Industrial Seaway Closed Due to Landslide
The U.S. Coast Guard closed the Biloxi Industrial Seaway in Gulfport, Miss., due to a landslide, Saturday.
The Biloxi Industrial Seaway in the vicinity of the Lorraine Bridge is closed to all traffic.
The USCG said it was notified at approximately 5:20 p.m. Saturday that the channel was entirely blocked by trees and other debris. The area experienced heavy rainfall near the time of the incident.
The USCG is coordinating with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to conduct a survey of the area and plan the best way to clear the debris so that it can be restored. There is currently no estimated time for the reopening of the waterway.
