Broadway Bridge

Broadway Bridge is an arch bridge that spans the Arkansas River between Little Rock and North Little Rock. The structure features two curved spans designed to carry vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists with separate pathways for safety.

The original crossing opened in 1923 and served the region for many decades. It was replaced in 2016 with a modern structure designed to meet current transportation needs.

It serves as a daily crossing point that connects residents and workers between Little Rock and North Little Rock. The bridge shapes how people move between the two communities and supports the economic life on both sides of the river.

Walkers and cyclists have separate paths that keep them away from vehicle traffic, making the crossing safe and comfortable. The route is level and accessible from both ends at any time of day.

The construction project required demolishing the previous structure with explosives before the new spans could be built. This method was necessary to clear space for the modern bridge while minimizing disruption to river traffic.
