Getting in the Mempis Area
General Location
Memphis is located about halfway up the Mississippi River from New Orleans - approximately the middle of the country. We are located right next to the junction of Interstate 40 and Interstate 55. Interstate 240 is the 'loop' that circles the city and can carry you easily from downtown to suburban communities.
Historically, Memphis' riverfront location has meant heavy freight and riverboat passenger traffic. Luxury paddlewheelers still ply the waters of the Mississippi River and dock in Memphis for leisure visitors. Sightseeing cruises are available. Major commercial traffic bypasses the gentle, downtown riverfront for the city's President's Island Industrial Complex.
