A major bridge connecting Memphis, Tennessee, to Arkansas will open to traffic in one direction on Monday, more than two months after a crack forced its closure, Tennessee transportation officials said
The Hernando DeSoto Bridge, which carries Interstate 40 over the Mississippi River, was shut down for repairs May 11 after a routine inspection found a structural crack. Repair workers will have finished their work by Friday, the Tennessee Department of Transportation said in a news release.All eastbound lanes are expected to reopen at 6 a.m. Monday, after workers remove their equipment and platforms from that side.
