MEMPHIS, Tenn. Two Mid-South towns more than an hour away from Memphis are being directly affected by the Interstate 40 bridge shutdown, and the traffic and tourists are changing life as people know it in the Mississippi Delta.
With the Interstate 40 Hernando DeSoto Bridge closed for repairs, some drivers are traveling about seventy miles south of Memphis to cross the Mississippi River.
It’s meant the Helena Bridge between Helena-West Helena, Arkansas and Lula, Mississippi is carrying the additional load of traffic.
“We are so close to Memphis we immediately knew how that was going to impact traffic here because a lot of people would be diverting to come through Helena, and that’s proven to be the case,” said Helen Halbert, chief of staff in Helena-West Helena.
