Random, Thoughts, X,XXIV

Would like some advice from Memphians about the traffic situation that resulted from the I-40 bridge woes before we leave Thursday for St. Louis. The past several times we've been crossing Mississippi on the I-55 bridge or taken a route through Jackson, Tn. We're ldriving from from Tusc ...... County. and have no plans to stop ulnless for gas. etc. We could be delayed leaving until Friday or Saturday and certainly don't want to be stuck on the highway for extended length of time

I crossed I-55 bridge this morning at 10 AM and it wasnt bad. By 11 or 12 AM, it gets backed up pretty good and by 2 or so, its a nightmare.

Here are options if later in day
1. Take 45 once you get to Tupelo towards Jackson, TN and 412 in Jackson towards Dyersburg. Take 155 in Dyersburg. Might be best bet.

2. Instead of taking I55 when you get to 240-55 split, Stay on 240 and get off on Union Ave exit. Take Union to Riverside, turn left on Riverside, go 1.5 miles, and take bridge there. You'll miss the brunt of the i55 delay that way. Riverside isn't crowded at all.
