    Default I-40 bridge at Memphis closed

    The I-40 bridge across the Mississippi at Memphis is closed due to a structural issue. They are estimating the closure will be for about 2 months.

    Detour for through I-40 traffic is I-55 and I-240. Expect delays.

    Wow. That's gonna definitely mean some back-ups. That is a very heavily trafficked area with long-distance truckers!

    I just drove to Memphis today, and I hit it at rush hour. Not only is the I-40 bridge closed, I-55 is all tore up in Arkansas. BIG mess. I use Google Maps on my phone for GPS, and it took me off onto the frontage road and saved me 10 minutes.
