The Harahan Bridge spans the Mississippi River, connecting vibrant downtown Memphis, Tennessee and Arkansas. The city of Memphis and Crittenden County (AR) are interested in reopening the former roadways for bicycle and pedestrian traffic. A bikeway on the north side of the Harahan Bridge will present spectacular views of Memphis and the Mississippi River.

 

In 1917, the bridge's roadways and approaches were purchased by the City of Memphis and Crittenden County. The roadways were in service from 1917 - 1949, when the Memphis-Arkansas Bridge was completed. Thousands of cars used the Harahan Bridge to cross  the river safely each day, and for years, it was the automobile crossing south of St. Louis.

 

Greg Maxted is the Executive Director of the Harahan

Bridge Project.  Leading this Memphis non-profit to convert the abandoned roadways on the Harahan Bridge into a bicycle/pedestrian crossing of the Mississippi River.  Mr. Maxted is the co-founder of the project and the energetic voice behind the concept.  He can be found at meetings across the Midsouth explaining the project and raising awareness.  The Harahan Bridge Project also advocates greenway projects across Shelby County; Bike lanes on North Parkway, extending the Shelby Farms Greenline, (East and

West), the Chelsea Ave Greenline, the South Memphis

Greenline and a bike/ped bridge over the Loosahatchie

River at Benjestown.

 

Mr. Maxted’s work has been made possible by his association with Mr. Charles McVean.  They see the Harahan  as  high profile project that will garner public support and spur imagination for what can be done in Memphis and the Midsouth.
