The Hernando de Soto Bridge carries Interstate 40 out of Memphis, across the Mississippi River into Arkansas. It was early Sunday morning (or late Saturday night depending on your point of view) in one of America's premier music and nightclub towns. The traffic on the bridge was reduced to a single lane in each direction. This would have caused all eastbound traffic out of Saturday-night, Christmas-season Memphis to slow down and travel in one lane. First off, I thought I read he went off the old bridge, next you go west to leave Memphis.
Memphis is on the east bank of the river.

Long distance information give me Memphis, Tennessee
Help me find the party that tried to get in touch with me
She could not leave a number but I know who placed the call
'cause my uncle took a message and he wrote it on the wall
Help me information get in touch with my Marie
She's the only one who'd call me here from Memphis, Tennessee
Her home is on the south side, high up on the ridge
Just a half-a-mile from the Mississippi bridge....
Here's a year-old pic of the bridge taken downriver from the Memphis side, from Memphis' Tom Lea Park. Arkansas is to the left, Memphis to the right.
I think I've got some shots that may show the guardrails back around October/November, but most of my bridge photos are of the Harahan Bridge. The Frisco Bridge is the classy one. recent Memphis/Arkansas bridge news story *here*>.
