The St. Louis Bay Bridge is a bridge in the US state of Mississippi which carries U.S. Route 90 over St. Louis Bay between Bay St. Louis and Pass Christian. The original bridge was heavily damaged by Hurricane Katrina in August 2005. The new replacement bridge is both wider and taller and opened to traffic on May 17, 2007. The span carries 4 lanes of traffic as well as a 12-foot (3.7 m) path for pedestrians and bicyclists on the Gulf side of the bridge.
