Abstract:

On May 11, Arkansas DOT bridge inspectors discovered a crack in the structure of the De Soto Bridge on I-40 over the Mississippi River. The Tennessee DOT closed the bridge between Memphis, TN, and West Memphis, AR, to all traffic. Vehicles are being detoured to the I-55 bridge three miles away, a detour that is creating traffic delays approaching the I-55 bridge from either side.
