If the third “bridge” is a tunnel, then it would not be three bridges. Don’t know why I didn’t think of that.
Also, with them making all those mistakes in Memphis; with all those folks moving south, it really would be better to put the tunnel through to Desoto County. I mean, even now, Desoto County is growing leaps and bounds and Memphis is losing people, substantially. It only makes sense to build the bridge/tunnel south of the state line.
