The -year-old bridge along South Gregson Street provides only of vertical clearance. It cannot be raised because nearby railroad crossings would also have to be raised with it.

It is the tallest bridge in Mississippi (although the demolished Benjamin G. Humphreys Bridge connecting Mississippi with Arkansas was taller by 5 feet, its main spans were located entirely within Arkansas). The original bridge, built by the Works Progress Administration and completed in October 1940, has only two 8-foot lanes and lacks shoulders, and now carries all westbound traffic.
