Arkansas Road Bridge

Posted June 26, 2008, by Chad Kelham (ckelham [at] ballstate [dot] bsu [dot] edu)

For the record, this is one of the more unique through truss bridges I've ever seen - I'm not sure what design it's based on but it's unlike any of the through trussers I've come across.

Oh, in some of these pics, the old US 41 bridge over the White River is looming in the background; if anyone has some pics of the old US 41 bridge on tap, or hasn't gotten them uploaded yet, they should since it's a pretty beautiful bridge in its own right.
