Junction Bridge, Pedestrian railway bridge in North Little Rock, US.
Junction Bridge is a former railway crossing in North Little Rock that now serves pedestrians traveling over the Arkansas River. The structure features stone support piers and a lift mechanism that allows boats to pass underneath.
The bridge was built in 1884 to serve the Little Rock Junction Railway and Bridge Company as a railroad crossing. Following renovation work in 1970, it was adapted for pedestrians in 2008.
The bridge links the River Market area on one side to the Argenta neighborhood on the other, serving as a popular walking route that many locals use to move between these two districts.
You can enter from either end using stairs or the elevator located at the bridge entrances. The crossing is open throughout the day and offers views of the river and both neighborhoods.
The southern end rests on a rock formation that gave Little Rock its name. Many visitors walk across without realizing they are stepping over this geological landmark that connects them to the city's origin story.
