From Wikipedia:
The Hernando de Soto Bridge is a tied-arch bridge carrying Interstate 40 across the Mississippi River between West Memphis, Arkansas, and Memphis, Tennessee. The design is a continuous cantilevered cable-stayed steel through arch, with bedstead endposts. Memphians also call the bridge the "New Bridge", as it is newer than the Memphis & Arkansas Bridge (carrying Interstate 55) downstream, and the "M Bridge", due to its distinctive shape. It is of similar construction to the Sherman Minton Bridge between Louisville, Kentucky, and New Albany, Indiana.

On August 23, 2007, an inspector discovered that a bridge pier on the approach bridge west of the river had settled overnight, and the bridge was subsequently closed to perform a precautionary inspection. The bridge was reopened later that day.

On May 11, 2021, an inspection revealed that a crack had formed on the bottom of the tie girder at Span A North truss. According to ArDOT, review of a May 2019 bridge inspection using drone footage showed visible damage at the area near the crack.[14] The responsible inspector was subsequently fired by ArDOT. Amateur footage from 2016 also showed damage in the same area. Traffic across and under the bridge was immediately halted indefinitely while engineers inspected the rest of the bridge for other issues, analyzed the structure, and fixed the issue. River traffic under the bridge resumed on May 14.

Initial repairs that affixed steel plates on both sides of the affected girder were completed on May 25, 2021. The second phase consisted of the installation of additional steel plating and removal of part of the damaged beam. A new inspection of the bridge found "nothing of concern". The eastbound lanes reopened on July 31, 2021, and the westbound lanes reopened on August 2, 2021. During the closure, vehicle traffic utilized the nearby Memphis & Arkansas Bridge (I-55) as an alternate route in the Memphis area, as well as the Caruthersville Bridge (I-155) to the north and the Helena Bridge (US 49) to the south as alternates elsewhere in the Mid South.
