U.S. 62 White River Bridge, Road bridge in Carroll County, Arkansas, US
The U.S. 62 White River Bridge is a road bridge spanning the White River in Carroll County with five sections supported by concrete piers and abutments. The structure carries traffic across the river and connects different areas of the county along U.S. Route 62.
The bridge was built between 1950 and 1952 as a steel Warren deck truss by the Forcum-James Company from Dyersburg, Tennessee. It was constructed during a period when new bridge designs helped improve transportation infrastructure across the region.
The bridge represents an important example of mid-20th century transportation infrastructure design and engineering methods in Arkansas.
The bridge provides a straightforward crossing for traffic on U.S. Route 62, connecting the northern and southern sections of the county. The structure is maintained to allow safe passage for vehicles of all sizes.
This is the last remaining deck-truss bridge among eleven originally built in Arkansas and the only one in Carroll County. Its rarity makes it a notable example of mid-century transportation engineering in the region.
