First I don't recommend taking the old bridge across the river in Memphis, narrower bridge, and roads are in poor condition. Take the new bridge on I40 to I240 South. From here you have 2 options both are about equal in my book. However, both of these options will have heavy traffic from 4pm until 7pm from people going home in the evenings.
Option A: (Quickest Route)
On 240S (stay in left lane) to 240E then exit onto 385 (2 right lanes exit) which will take you to 72 which goes almost all the way to bay springs.
Option B:
On 240S stay straight as this turns into 55 south. Take 302/Goodman Rd exit and go east to highway 72.
We live about a mile off 302 and take this route over to Pickwick lake on a regular basis. If have any further questions just let me know.
