Cotter Bridge, Art Deco road bridge in Baxter County, United States
Cotter Bridge is a concrete road crossing over the White River in Arkansas with two 24-foot-wide lanes. It is supported by distinctive rainbow arches that span the water and define the landscape.
The structure was completed in 1930 by Marsh Engineering Company and replaced an unreliable ferry service. Its construction provided permanent transportation access and fundamentally changed mobility in the Ozark region.
The structure displays Art Deco design typical of the 1930s with its distinctive curved arches and clean lines. Today it serves as a recognized landmark that shapes local identity and is seen by travelers as a historical marker of the region.
The bridge is accessible via Business Route 62 and connects Baxter and Marion counties. Pedestrians and vehicles can use it year-round regardless of season or weather conditions.
The structure was recognized in 1986 as Arkansas' first National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark. This distinction highlights its importance as an early engineering achievement and led to its listing on the National Register in 1990.
