The image is a vintage postcard featuring a view of the Hernando de Soto Bridge, which carries Interstate 40 across the Mississippi River between Arkansas and Tennessee. It is known for its distinctive double-arch shape that resembles the letter "M", leading to the nickname "M Bridge" among locals.
Key details about the bridge:
It is a steel tied-arch bridge.
It connects West Memphis, Arkansas, and Memphis, Tennessee.
It was opened to traffic in 1973.
It is also referred to as the "New Bridge" because it is newer than the I-55 bridge downstream.
