NEW from @myTDOT on emergency closure/repair of the Hernando-DeSoto (I-40) Bridge today:
Here’s a look at the traffic back-up on I-40 EB in Arkansas...the #Memphis skyline in the distance.
The back-up goes to Mound City as local authorities reroute all these trucks and cars off I-40 b/c the I-40 bridge is CLOSED b/c of a structural issue.
And here’s a look at the I-40 bridge - at the height of rush hour. Empty. @myARDOT & @myTDOT drones inspecting crack. Agencies will determine repair needs. M-Bridge closed until at least Wed morning. #wmc5
#Memphis Police are helping direct traffic at Crump & Main where motorists have been rerouted b/c the I-40 bridge is closed. The commute home is taking longer tonight for a lot of folks. #wmc5
