Sylamore Creek Bridge, Suspension bridge in Stone County, Arkansas, United States.
Sylamore Creek Bridge is a cable suspension structure spanning a creek in Stone County, supported by steel towers anchored in concrete foundations. The roadway narrows at 19 feet wide with clearance space of 11 feet, carrying local traffic over the waterway.
Built in 1945, the structure was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999 for its wire-cable suspension design. This recognition acknowledged its engineering approach typical of mid-twentieth century rural bridge construction.
The bridge carries County Road 283 across Sylamore Creek, a short way west of Arkansas Highway 9 and north of the Holiday Mountain Resort in Allison. It is one of only three known wire-cable suspension bridges in Arkansas, a type built with steel towers on concrete piers and four main cables anchored in concrete abutments.
The bridge sits near Arkansas Highway 9, accessible by local roads in the Stone County area. Visitors can walk across to experience the structure and views from the deck level.
