Snowden pedestrian bridge hoisted in place

It was a historic day for Southaven, Snowden Grove and the Silo Square community as the bridge span on the Snowden pedestrian bridge was lifted in place.

Hill said adding the bridge will make Southaven a more walkable community and provide a nice link to the amenities at Silo Square. The $225 million, 288-acre commercial, retail and entertainment area at Silo Square will give Southaven its own unique town square setting that it hasn’t had before, and serve as a destination for tourists as well as locals.

Being at Silo Square is important for a number of reasons, Burnett said. Location is just one reason.

“The Getwell Road corridor between Church and Goodman is kind of the heartbeat of DeSoto County,” Burnett said. “This is the center of the universe for DeSoto County. Brian (Hill) just put an exclamation point on it when he did it (Silo Square).
