Contract Awarded To Repair Mississippi River Freeway Bridge At Memphis Monday, May 17, 2021
Tennessee Department of Transportation Commissioner Clay Bright announced Monday the emergency bridge repair project at the freeway over the Mississippi River at Memphis has been awarded to Kiewit Infrastructure Group. The selection was based on qualifications, experience, and availability of personnel and equipment, officials said. The contractor is expected to start work as early as Wednesday.
The repair will be performed in two phases. Both phases will need to be completed before traffic can re-open on the bridge, it was stated.
Phase 1 will require the installation of steel plates on each side of the fractured member.
