West Memphis can take a punch.
When the Interstate 40 bridge that connects Memphis with West Memphis closed down May 11 for safety repairs, the effects were felt immediately. The six-lane bridge, formally known as the Hernando de Soto Bridge but called the “new bridge” by locals, is a vital link in the national interstate system since I-40 runs from North Carolina to California and approximately 40,000 vehicles crossed the bridge daily.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - Repair to the I-40 bridge will be performed in two phases and both phases must be complete before traffic can reopen.
There’s still no actual traffic on the nearly 50-year-old I-40 bridge, but there is some movement in plans to repair it.
Wednesday, Stupp Bridge Company in Bowling, Kentucky will deliver 11,000 pounds of steel to Memphis for a temporary fix by putting steel plates on both sides of the fractured support beam underneath the bridge.
