Cracked Bridge Connecting Tennessee And Arkansas Fully Reopens

By Sarah Tate Photo: Getty Images Nearly three months since the Interstate 40 bridge connecting Tennessee and Arkansas shut down, the roadway has fully reopened. According to FOX 17, the repairs were ahead of schedule, so the eastbound lanes reopened on Saturday night and the bridge fully reopened on Monday (August 2). In early May, the Hernando de Soto Bridge passing over the Mississippi River was temporarily closed after crews discovered a massive crack in the steel beams, affecting the structural integrity of the well-traveled bridge. The closure affected traffic flow between the states and even affected barge traffic along the water. So far, around $9.5 million has been spent on repairs, design and inspection since the bridge was shut down, the news outlet reports. The cost will be split between Tennessee and Arkansas.
