Binghampton neighbors fighting street closure plan
Neighbors fight Scott Street closure plan By WMC Action News 5 Staff | April 27, 2021 at 11:10 PM CDT - Updated April 27 at 11:12 PM
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - The Binghampton neighborhood is fighting a plan to disconnect one of its streets from Poplar Avenue.
At issue is the Scott Street Bridge which connects to the elevated portion of Popular Avenue near Midtown.
TDOT plans to rebuild the 100-year-old viaduct, make it earthquake-sound and increase the clearance over active railroads.
But city engineers asked that the Scott Street connection be removed, because of frequent crashes at the angled intersection.
