Electronic Access and Filing
This document and all comments
received may be viewed online through
the Federal eRulemaking portal at
http://www.regulations.gov. The website
is available 24 hours each day, 365 days
each year. An electronic copy of this
document may also be downloaded by

Register’s website at

Background
The ARDOT and TDOT closed the I–
40 Bridge over the Mississippi River
between Arkansas and Tennessee on
May 11, 2021, for safety considerations.
During a routine inspection of the I–40
Bridge by ARDOT, a mechanical
fracture was discovered within the
elements of a steel box beam. Local law
enforcement agencies were immediately
notified to shut down the bridge to all
traffic. FHWA is providing notice that
ARDOT and TDOT are continuing the
temporary closure of the I–40 Bridge for
an indefinite period of time.
FHWA is responsible for enforcing the
Federal regulations applicable to the
National Network of highways that can
safely and efficiently accommodate the
large vehicles authorized by provisions
of the Surface Transportation Assistance
Act of 1982, Public Law 97–424 as
amended, designated in accordance
with 23 CFR part 658 (Truck Size and
Weight, Route Designations—Length,
Width and Weight Limitations) and
listed in Appendix A to Part 658. Under
23 CFR 658.11 (Additions, deletions,
exceptions, and restrictions), FHWA
may approve deletions of, or use
restrictions on, the Interstate system or
other National Network route based
upon specified justification criteria in
23 CFR 658.11(d)(2). FHWA is
authorized to delete any route from the
National Network on an emergency
basis based on safety considerations
pursuant to section 658.11(e), which
also requires publishing this notice in
the Federal Register for comment.
The closure of the I–40 Bridge has
affected traffic throughout western
Tennessee, the Memphis metropolitan
area, and eastern Arkansas. The I–40
Bridge and the I–55 Memphis-Arkansas
Bridge (I–55 Bridge) are the only two
Mississippi River crossings in the
Memphis area. The additional traffic on
I–55 due to the I–40 Bridge closure has
increased delays in crossing the river.
