“The fix wasn’t sitting on a shelf,” Tennessee Department of Transportation Commissioner Clay Bright said about the Hernando de Soto Bridge repairs that started in mid-May.
Vessels get the green light after a portion of the Mississippi River near Memphis was closed to traffic for a few days. Inspectors found damage to the bridge above it.
The bridge railing collapse in Chattanooga on the morning of April 1 was likely caused by an illegally oversized load, according to the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT).
All lanes of I-75 North to I-24 West in Chattanooga, Tennessee were blocked Monday after a concrete railing collapsed onto the roadway from the interchange above.
