The river reopened as of 9 a.m. CDT on May 14, according to the Coast Guard, providing relief to the queue of 62 vessels and 1,058 barges stranded on the north and south sides of the Interstate 40 Hernando DeSoto Bridge near Memphis, Tenn. The waterway had been closed since May 11 after a crack was found in the truss of the bridge.
