Another Mississippi Bridge … Where?
Posted by: Blue Collar Muse in Infrastructure Issues, Tennesee TipsA. C. McCloud at Memphis Mud reminds us there’s a meeting tomorrow night in Memphis for those interested in hearing TDOT’s plans for a proposed Toll Bridge over the mighty Mississipp’ in Memphis. While I mentioned it in a recent post on toll roads and bridges proposed in other parts of the state, AC is a Memphis area resident and knows more about that part of the state and the value of another bridge than I do. He’s wondering where they’re actually going to put the thing! Head over to his place and check out his thoughts.
And don’t forget to attend the meeting tomorrow night and let your voice be heard on the matter. State Transportation bigwigs will be there and they say they want to hear from you. Give ‘em an earful!
The meeting will be held from 6PM to 8PM at Central Station Depot 545 South Main Memphis, TN 38103. More details can be found here. Hopefully a couple of you Memphis bloggers can get there and live blog the event or at least cover it for the rest of us. If you do, let me know and we’ll link to and promote your efforts. Any other Tennessee bloggers reading this, please consider linking to AC’s post and getting the word out about the meeting.

I went there and was on the only one that opposed it! This is just another toll road scheme and I told them so. This was part of a $375,000 study called Arkanas-Tennessee River Crossings Project and they proposed a 25 mile toll road from Osceola, AR to Millington, TN. This is even a bigger part of the I-69 corridor scheme. I can’t believe that people this the North American Union is a conspiracy. It is right before our face. It is even referenced several times in the Tennessee Department of Transportation’s website. I hope everyone wakes up to this very important issue. We are losing our sovereignty people!

I hope they build the bridge! It is horrible having to deal with the memphis-west memphis traffic. I would GLADLY pay a toll just to have it!
