Since I recently did a
keychain for Memphis, I thought this beautiful bridge deserved a keychain also.
The Hernando de Soto Bridge is a through arch bridge
carrying Interstate 40
across the Mississippi River
between West Memphis, Arkansas
, and Memphis
, Tennessee
. 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
.
The bridge is named for 16th century Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto who explored this stretch of the Mississippi River, and died south of Memphis. (random facts via wikipedia)
