Relic As many times as I have visited and photographed the current Arkadelphia Bridge I have never thought to look for remnants of the old bridge...until today. Here is the stub of one of the west bank piers from the original bridge. Depending on the river level the stub is probably submerged part of the time. Photo taken by Wayne Kizziar |
