A structural crack has been identified on the Hernando de Soto M bridge, indefinitely closing all lanes of Interstate 40 along the bridge, as well as halting boat traffic in the area on the Mississippi River.
A consultant performing a routine inspection of the bridge located the crack around 2 p.m. Tuesday, said Dave Parker, public information officer for the Arkansas Department of Transportation. The Tennessee Department of Transportation said the crack was located on the bottom side of the bridge truss, which IDrive Arkansas described as a support beam.
It s unclear how long it will take to assess and repair the bridge sufficiently enough to allow vehicle and boat traffic to resume.

Two bridges in town are in good working order, according to a recently released report from the Payson town manager.
In March, the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) sent the town bridge inspection reports after ADOT bridge inspection section personnel reviewed the bridge near the Payson Golf Club and another near Green Valley Park, according to Troy Smith.
