Repairing Cracked Memphis Bridge Could Take Months, Choking Vital Supply Chain Artery
HuffPost
The Hernando de Soto Bridge, which connects Tennessee to Arkansas, has been closed to traffic since Tuesday.
The Hernando de Soto Bridge in Memphis, Tennessee — a vital shipping and trucking route that connects Tennessee and Arkansas — has been closed to traffic since Tuesday after a routine inspection uncovered a potentially “catastrophic” crack in one of the bridge’s beams. Now, officials are saying even temporary repairs to the bridge could take months, prompting concerns about potentially massive economic consequences. Paul Degges, the chief engineer of the Tennessee Department of Transportation, told CNN Thursday that it would take “probably six to eight weeks minimum” to get the bridge repaired enough so vehicles can safely traverse it.
