The new โKingsโ Crossing Bridgeโ, which will replace the aging I-55 bridge over the Mississippi River, is one of the largest infrastructure investments in Tennessee and Arkansas history. The modern bridge will improve safety, increase capacity, strengthen freight movement, and better connect Memphis with West Memphis for generations to come.
Current plans call for construction to begin in 2027, following the completion of final design in late 2026, with the project expected to take about four years, targeting completion in 2031. Earlier planning documents referenced a possible 2026 start, but the current schedule has shifted as design work continues. (Parsons Corporationโ ๏ฟผ)
This isnโt just a new bridgeโitโs an investment in the future of our regionโs economy, transportation network, and long-term growth. Kingsโ Crossing will honor the legacies of three โkingsโ - B.B. King, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and Elvis Presley - while creating a safer, more resilient gateway into Memphis.
