Beaver Bridge

Here is another link. It looks like the river is still rising. These photos were taken on 4-15-08. http://good-times.webshots.com/album/563071564FZtofu I have several inquiries out about getting permission to re-post some of these photos to Historic Bridges. So far no response , just have to make do with the links until then.

Here is a link to a page with a photo of the current flood stage at the Beaver Bridge. http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/kitchentable/msg0416040824885.html?9 This does not look pretty folks.

The Beaver Bridge is currently under water due to massive flooding in the area. AHTD is saying the bridge is most likely damaged and might not be able to be saved.

We crossed this bridge twice on our most recent vacation at Holiday Island, AR. It's beautiful -- my wife's aunt and uncle had a picture taken of themselves and the bridge for their Christmas card a few years ago.

So far, I guess Tyson hasn't convinced the state to tear the old girl down. They ought to just use the roads that are there or improve U.S. 62 if they need a better road. That's my stand.

I loved this bridge it was a marvelous part of the town. I was devasted when I heard the town might tear it down. It should be reconized as a national landmark it is lovely. The surronding enivorment is alway breathe taking

During a recent family vacation my family & I had the wonderful pleasure of crossing the Beaver Bridge. It happened upon chance that we found this treasure. Through our navigation system we requested the "back roads", little did we know what a beautiful & rare attraction we would find. It disturbs me to read that the bridge is being looked at by Tyson industries as a route to deliver goods. Let me just say. Leave it alone! We have enough interstates & freeways for you. What America doesn't have is enough hidden treasures! Thank you.

The relocation of Hwy 187 over “the long route to nowhere” is all about development and a truck route. The politicians should reconsider and invest for tourism and a Scenic Byway. Hwy 187 between Hwy 62 and Hwy 23 should be saved as much as possible for future generations to appreciate. The Highway Department is planning to destroy all the beauty for a truck route. HELP!

I love love love this bridge. It takes you back to a majical time and is situated in Beaver Ark. (one of the loveliest places on the planet.) It is featured in the new movie Elizebethtown, and should be cherished by all as a national landmark. Unfortunately the bridge is in danger of being torn down, due to special intrest group politics and tyson foods, wanting an easier way for trucking to go through this area. I sincerely hope this does not happen as a beautiful treasure will be lost forever, because of corporate profits.
