I-55 bridge inspections in Memphis to cause delays

If you’re driving through Memphis these next few weeks, expect delays. The Trucker reported that “on Monday, Aug. 1, inspectors with the Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT) began performing a routine bridge inspection on the bridge, which travels over the Mississippi River.” They are predicting the inspection to last for about three weeks.

Details:

Northbound outside lanes

  • 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday

Southbound outside lanes

  • 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday

They are planning to close starting with outside lanes, and only one at a time.
