TDOT: It’s unclear when I-40 bridge in Memphis will reopen
Officially known as the Hernando DeSoto Bridge, the structure carries traffic on I-40 over the Mississippi River between Memphis, Tennessee and West Memphis, Arkansas. It opened in 1973 and carried about 37,000 vehicles a day in 2018, TDOT said.
Officials with the Tennessee Department of Transportation said in a news conference on Memphis on Wednesday that they do not know when the I-40 bridge will be opened after it was closed for emergency repairs Tuesday afternoon.
A little gorilla glue, and good to go.
Yipes!
Chinese steel on that bridge? Twin Tower steel?
