The next stop was several miles downriver to the Pascagoula River Bridge on Hwy 26. It was built in 1948, exactly 20 years after the Merrill span. While the crossing at Merrill might have been the first bridge over the Pascagoula, the Hwy 26 span was the last to replace an instate toll ferry. This cantilevered Warren through truss bridge is in good shape and carries over 2500 vehicles a day.
