Benjamin G. Humphreys Bridge, Cantilever bridge in Lake Village, United States
The Benjamin G. Humphreys Bridge connected Lake Village, Arkansas to Greenville, Mississippi with two lanes spanning 9,957 feet across the Mississippi River.
The Works Progress Administration funded the construction of this bridge, which opened on October 4, 1940 as the first connection between Lake Village and Greenville.
The structure received its name from Benjamin G. Humphreys II, a United States Congressman who represented the Greenville district in Mississippi.
The bridge's position near a sharp river bend and its narrow lanes without shoulders led to frequent accidents with vehicles and barges until its closure in 2010.
The main span extended 840 feet across the Mississippi River, making it the longest highway bridge span on the river from 1940 until 1943.
