This is the “M Bridge” or the Hernando de Soto Bridge.

I lived in Memphis for a while. I’ve never liked this bridge, or the other one, the Memphis and Arkansas Bridge, very much.
If memory serves, both have been whacked by barges repeatedly, plus they often host traffic accidents. Truckers have been asking for a new bridge in the area for years.

Hmmm, I just drove over it August 1st...and was hearing about the Minnesota bridge collapse for the first time while doing so....

How safe are your bridges?
Get used to that question.

Well... That’s four inches measured by a Democrat, and we all know what they have been telling their wives for years, so it is probably only two inches in reality....

Great, just great. I drove over that bridge twice this weekend...But I was driving to Memphis to visit a girl, so I guess my mind was on things other than dips in bridges...
