Inspection to shut lanes of I-55 span

A routine inspection of the Interstate 55 bridge over the Mississippi River between West Memphis and Memphis will require lane closures for parts of the next two weeks beginning Monday, the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department said.

The outside southbound lane of the bridge will be closed from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily through Thursday, weather permitting.

The outside northbound lane of the bridge will be closed during the same hours from Wednesday through Dec. 15, also weather permitting. The lane won't be closed Dec. 9-11, however.

Traffic will be controlled using warning signs and cones, the department said.
