Warning signFlag of United States#alert: Major bridge into downtown Memphis closed due to structural failure

#Memphis l#tn
Police continue to reroute vehicles away from the I-40 bridge over the Mississippi River after inspectors found a large crack growing beneath the bridge deck. Major delays have formed.

Personal NOTE: That's one of the 7 bridges. There are 7 key bridges that cross the Mississippi river. Without them the country is split in two. You cannot run trucks over the remaining bridges, because the smaller bridges are not made for that kind of traffic. You will have to ship lighter cargo via trucks and twice as many to get goods across the river now. If an enemy wanted to strangle the US. This bridge and the other s crossing the Mississippi would be a strategic hit point or attack point.
