CCC architecture of Petit Jean State Park, Stone arch bridge in Petit Jean State Park, Arkansas.
The Davies Bridge crosses Cedar Creek using stones collected from Petit Jean Mountain for its arched structure. It connects Red Bluff Drive to Arkansas Highway 154 and remains open to both vehicle and foot traffic today.
The Civilian Conservation Corps built the Cedar Creek Bridge, which carries Red Bluff Drive over Cedar Creek just below the outlet of Lake Roosevelt, during its 1930s work in Petit Jean State Park. The same crews built roads, trails and the dams that impound Lake Bailey and Roosevelt Lake, and many of these features are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The bridge carries Red Bluff Drive over Cedar Creek just below the outlet of Lake Roosevelt, and CCC crews also built the stone box culvert under Highway 154 nearby. The name Davies Bridge is not documented in the park's CCC records, which describe the structure only as the Cedar Creek Bridge.
You can reach this bridge by driving Red Bluff Drive from Arkansas Highway 154. The location is accessible for both vehicles and walking visitors.
