Yupp! I’d have never thunked it but guess I was.

I’d heard the thinking that they were going to put another bridge over the Mississippi near Memphis and rote bout it earlier. If I rememorize right I suggested 3 maybe 4 places, all wrong, apparently. Shows what I don’t know.

So where will it be? Apparently where the old I55 bridge is now.

That’s not a guess. They will replace the current 4 lane with, likely a 6 lane. Already they are working on the west approach. Incidentally an 8 lane won’t be nough.

Unfortunately, that means us Mississippians will have to wait. It means we will need to go through Memphis to cross the river or go down to Helena.

I wonder just how much it would cost to set up a ferry. Bunch of folks down here south of the stateline willing to go through a lot to avoid one of the most dangerous cities in the country. ( I’m referring to the drivers as well as all that shooting… Almost 1 a day for 2023. )
