Memphis Light, Gas and Water crews are rewiring utility poles near the Kansas Street/I-55 junction today. Interstate 55 will not need to be blocked off for work to be completed. The on ramp from Kansas St. to I-55 will stay open. The Kansas St. off ramp from I-55, and the part of Kansas St. that bridges I-55 will be closed off so MLGW crews can work. Those areas will remain closed until this evening.

Memphis Light, Gas and Water is the largest three-service public power utility in the nation, serving the residents of Memphis and Shelby County, Tennessee since 1939.

Actively engaged in promoting the prosperity of Memphis and Shelby County, MLGW supports the seven local chambers in its service area and makes doing business with local, minority- and women-owned business a priority.
