The Memphis & Arkansas Bridge is a cantileveredthrough truss bridge carrying Interstate 55 across the Mississippi Riverbetween West Memphis, Arkansas and Memphis, Tennessee. Memphians refer to thisbridge as the \"Old Bridge\" to distinguish it from the \"NewBridge,\" or Hernando de Soto Bridge, upstream.

The bridge consists of five Warren through trusses,each with a length of 790 feet (240 m). Combined with the approach segments,the bridge\'s total length is 5,222 feet (1,592 m). Completed in 1949, it is theonly bridge spanning the Mississippi River designed to carry exclusivelyvehicular traffic that was built before 1950. It was designed by Modjeski andMasters.

In 2016, a pedestrian/bicycle path on the neighboringHarahan Bridge made crossing the river safer and eliminated the need to use theI-55 bridge. In December 2023, an announcement was made that the bridge will bereplaced. Construction is scheduled for 2026 to begin for the replacementbridge.
