Memphis Mississippi River Interstate Highway Bridge Closed

It's reported the Interstate-40 Mississippi River bridge was closed early today- because a bridge support pier had "sunk nearly 4 inches" overnight on the West Memphis or Arkansas side.

The bridge was undergoing general refurbishing and earthquake-retrofitting. Traffic has been detoured to the nearby I-55 bridge.
