Yancopin Bridge, Railway and footbridge in Desha County, Arkansas.
The Yancopin Bridge features two movable spans across the Arkansas River, positioned 15 miles northwest of the Mississippi River confluence point.
Constructed in 1903 by the Memphis, Helena & Louisiana Railway, the bridge played a critical role during the Arkansas River Flood of 1927.
The bridge represents the final railroad crossing point over the Arkansas River before meeting the Mississippi, marking a significant transportation milestone.
The structure now functions as part of the Delta Heritage Trail, maintained by the Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department.
The bridge contains both a lift span and swing span, modifications made necessary by river channel changes and flooding events.
