East approach |
The first time I crossed this bridge, was in the early fall of 1975. My Mother was in training in Pine Bluff, for the Arkansas Employment Security Division. Since this was business. My dad took me and my brother Leslie sightseeing. He took us to Marvel, AR, to meet a lady, who he boarded with. Dad knew I was fascinated by bridges. He said we are going to cross a great big bridge in Clarendon, over the White River. When we crossed it then, the steel frame was yellow. Later they I suppose repainted it back silver. Anyhow it's the same bridge. Most of all it's a landmark.
