"Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) contract crews will begin emergency repairs on the I-40 Hernando DeSoto Bridge over the Mississippi River after a routine inspection uncovered a crack in the bottom side of the bridge truss.
For the motoring public’s safety, the bridge will be entirely shut down while crews investigate the crack’s extent further and then repair the problem, which could take some time."

Yep, the "new" bridge will be closed for a while. The "old" bridge that goes to I-55 South will still be open. It won't be any fun going through there.

Since the Biden Money Tree is in full bloom, I suspect a lot of cracks are going to be found on a lot of older bridges in the country.
