Memphis tracker · Counting since October 11, 2026
Memphis Tracker
Every road closure, water issue, outage, construction notice and transit alert the city's agencies, utilities and newsrooms reported across Memphis and the close-in metro, counted week by week. No login, no feed. Just the numbers, and where they landed.
What the numbers say
A steady week on the roads, with I-40 coming up most. Construction was busier than the week before.
Half of Memphis's road incidents clear within 80 minutes. The longest ran 25 hours.
Measured from 172 with a start and end time, the last 2 weeks.
Half of Memphis's outages clear within 2.3 hours. The longest ran 19 hours.
Measured from 200 with a start and end time, the last 2 weeks.
Half of Memphis's construction notices clear within 8.1 hours. The longest ran 2 days.
Measured from 46 with a start and end time, the last 2 weeks.
Road incidents cluster between 5 PM and 6 PM: 12 percent of them start in that one hour.
Measured from 179 road incidents, the last 2 weeks.
Week by week
Outages fell from 108 to 89 last week. Road incidents and construction notices rose. Water has held steady.
Weeks start on Sunday. One thing is counted once per place per day, and something that runs for days counts on the day it started. Brief lane blocks that cleared inside an hour are left out, closures scheduled to run longer than a week are roadworks rather than incidents, an outage counts when it left 10 or more customers without power, and stories about policy or funding are not incidents.
Where Memphis was hit this week
65 percent of road incidents in the last 7 days happened on four roads.
Areas, most affected first
180 placedWhat the map says
Tap a row to see it on the map.Areas are measured from Court Square in downtown Memphis: within 2 miles is Downtown Memphis, within 8 miles (about where I-240 runs) is that side of Memphis, and beyond that is the metro. An item with no coordinates is counted in the totals but not placed on the map. Corridors come from the road a source named. Interstates are split into the stretch north, south, east or west of downtown Memphis, since one number for a whole interstate hides where the trouble is. Districts are the City of Memphis's own council boundaries, from the city's GIS: the seven single-member districts, 1 to 7 (the two super districts, each holding three seats, are not drawn). Bartlett, Germantown, Collierville and the rest of Shelby County have their own councils and are shown on the metro map.
Sources are read every ten minutes, and the counts are rebuilt whenever one of them publishes something new. Last counted Oct 26, 4:19 AM CT.
Only what these sources published. Nothing inferred. Counted once when an agency and a newsroom report the same thing.
