Four Attala County bridges closed in recent weeks by federal inspectors remain closed, despite repairs having been completed on two of them. The repaired bridges cannot be reopened until those federal inspectors return and authorize county officials to open them to traffic.
District 2 Supervisor Charles Fancher, chairman of the supervisors, told The Star-Herald that Bridge 179, known as the Tibby Creek 
bridge on old Highway 407 connecting McCool and Weir, had a pylon replaced and now awaits official inspection before it can be reopened.
A second bridge in his district, Bridge 117 on the Old Trace between Stonewall and Rocky Point Roads, cannot be repaired at this time due to the wet weather.
In District 4, Supervisor Kary Ellington told The Star-Herald that Bridge 4102, off Highway 12 West on 
Highway 429 in Sallis, has been repaired and has been awaiting re-inspection for more than three weeks.
A second bridge in his district, Bridge 4002, located near Highway 14 South and the Pat Smith farm, awaits repairs once high waters recede.
