Program to Repair of I-40 Bridge Announced

06/10/2021

CHICK-NEWS has reported on the structural failure of the Hernando de Soto bridge over I-40 crossing the Mississippi River at Memphis, TN.  U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg recently visited Memphis to review damage to the structure.  Materials to repair the cracked beam will be delivered in late June and installed through July.  It is hoped that the bridge will be reopened to traffic in August.  During the repairs, there may be some impact on barge traffic on the Mississippi. Obviously efforts will be made to reduce delays since the waterway is critical to conveying grain southward for both export and the southeastern broiler industry.

 

Additional reports will be posted as official statements are released.
