Helena Bridge, Cantilever bridge in Helena, United States.
The Helena Bridge extends 5,204 feet across the Mississippi River, connecting the cities of Helena, Arkansas and Lula, Mississippi through U.S. Route 49.
The construction of this $14 million infrastructure project concluded in 1961, replacing the existing ferry service between Arkansas and Mississippi states.
The bridge stands as a central element for both Arkansas and Mississippi communities, enabling daily connections between residents of these neighboring river states.
The steel and concrete structure spans 804 feet at its longest section, providing a 119-foot clearance for river navigation with two traffic lanes.
The bridge maintains steady operations despite river currents due to its location along a moderate curve of the Mississippi, unlike other regional crossings.
