Greenville Bridge, Cable-stayed road bridge between Arkansas and Mississippi, United States
Description
Greenville Bridge is a cable-stayed span carrying US Highway 82 across the Mississippi River with four lanes supported by steel cables anchored to two concrete towers. The deck rises above the water to allow river vessels to pass underneath without affecting road traffic above.
History
Construction began in 2001 and the bridge opened in 2010, replacing the earlier Benjamin G. Humphreys Bridge that had served the region for decades. The cable-stayed design reflects modern engineering approaches for connecting these two states.
Culture
The bridge serves as a daily crossing point for people connecting towns and communities on both sides of the river, shaping how residents and travelers move between the two states.
Practical
The bridge handles significant daily traffic and delays can occur during peak hours, so plan accordingly when crossing during busy times. Walking or cycling across is not recommended since this is a high-speed highway route.
Did you know?
The span was engineered to allow large river vessels to pass beneath it, making it a rare example of a high-speed highway doubling as an active shipping corridor. This dual function required special attention to clearance heights and structural design.
