Cotter Bridge, Art Deco road bridge in Baxter County, United States
The Cotter Bridge spans 1,850 feet across the White River, featuring two 24-foot-wide lanes supported by concrete rainbow arches.
Completed in 1930 by the Marsh Engineering Company of Des Moines, this structure replaced an unreliable ferry system that had long hindered travel across the White River.
Local residents successfully prevented the demolition of the bridge in the late 20th century, leading to its preservation as a Business Route 62 crossing.
The bridge connects the communities of Baxter and Marion counties, providing a vital transportation link for residents and visitors traveling through the Ozark region.
The structure earned recognition as Arkansas' first National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark in 1986 and joined the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.
