Large chunks of the Tennessee Department of Transportation’s camera network in the Memphis area are the latest victims of the area’s flooding.

“Approximately 30 cameras on Interstates 40 and 55 are off-line at this time, with outages possibly lasting as long as three weeks,” said a TDOT spokesman in a written statement.

The SmartWay cameras have gone black because their power supply has been shut down to protect it from the rising Mississippi River.

Mid-Southerners who thought road work on I-40 was causing a lot of problems won’t be happy to hear that TDOT has even more construction planned, but this time road crews have their sights set on I-240.

The nearly $42 million project will widen the highway to four lanes in all directions between 385 and Walnut Grove. It’s expected to take about two years.
