For anyone who’s never been to Memphis - this is huge. This bridge is one of the most heavily used on the whole Mississippi River and is the main bridge used to come into Memphis from the west. It’s a major artery for freight. There’s one other bridge over the Mississippi (for cars/trucks) in Memphis, but it’s SMALL compared to this one.

Is the bridge shut down? Or scheduled for immediate repair?

They said it had a crack.
This looks like a shear break, all the way through.
