    Watching with interest how quickly the Memphis bridge gets fixed.

    Is there any word on how much longer Yancy will be closed? Your post on 3/31/2021 said it was only supposed to be a few weeks. Perhaps I’ve missed some updates. Thanks!

      yes, we updated it late last month, “design delays” stretched it out weeks longer. I am overdue in checking back.

Sorry, comment time is over.
