The I 40 M Bridge going into AR from TN is out of commission, it spans the Mississippi River, NO Trucks, Cars, NO Boat traffic. Won't take long food, oil, and other necessities run low or out. https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fthememphian.blob.core.windows.net%2Fsized%2F54486_960&f=1&nofb=1
Because Blue City Controlled Memphis neglected a known crack for years till a Novice could see the crack in the pillar holding up the bridge. Major Artery for traffic. Traffic backed up miles.
With the amount of traffic across it, is by God's grace it Didn't collapse.

One of these days, the New Madrid fault might blow. Hopefully they will take that into count when they repair the bridge.

…a known crack…a Novice could see the crackI think you should have a mechanical engineering degree to assess that “crack.” (Jk) That stopped being a “crack” long ago!

This post should be marked as vanity, the text offered to start match the text at the link. Further, the link to the article says the fridge will be closed for weeks, yet you are suggesting years.

Crack has been known to exist by city for years, just kept growing, neglected by BLUE MEMPHIS, Social programs wasteful spending more important.

My engineering kit includes wd40 and duct tape, but cable ties and pvc has been used to good effect as well.

In your haste to criticize you failed to proofread before posting. Perhaps it’s because you’re looking at weeks of hunger? Cheers!

Who gets the grease? What can the ‘environmentalists’ squeeze out of the replacement? That tells how fast the job gets done!
