Biloxi now has the money to build a Popp's Ferry Extension road that will connect to the beach, open a new corridor for development and make it easier to secure future funding for a new Popp's Ferry Bridge without tolls. The new road will be less than 1 mile long, but will make big difference for drivers heading to the beach or attending events at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum and for residents of the area who deal with the heavy traffic. On Tuesday, the Biloxi Council will be asked to approve a $3 million grant from the Gulf Coast Restoration Fund, approved by the state legislature, to apply toward the $27 million project that has been in the works for years.
