Now trouble on the EB side - crash in the left lane past Chelsea. You can see MPD still with our earlier WB crash to the left inside the barrels.

And now we have an injury crash NB 55 at Church in the right lane and left shoulder.
Turns out, they have to move an oversize load (looks like part of a 7Brew LOL) that couldn't get thru the cone zone back to Church Rd. Interstate should reopen once they get it off 55.

#MEMtraffic - Trouble in the 2nd right lane of NB 55 before you get up to Shelby.
TDOT is going to try to drag the tractor trailer off the interstate and then the car to get the lanes clear.
#NASHtraffic - Crash on WB 24 past Harding Place in the right two lanes.
#MEMtraffic - Paving still has you down to one lane on EB 240 between Malfunction Junction and Airways for now.
