Big Piney Creek Bridge

The Big Piney Creek Bridge is a historic bridge, carrying Arkansas Highway 123 across Big Piney Creek in Ozark-St. Francis National Forest, northeast of Hagarville, Arkansas. Its main span is a Warren through truss structure, 141 feet (43 m) in length, with steel deck girder approach spans giving the bridge a total length of 461 feet (141 m). The trusses are mounted on concrete piers. The bridge was built in 1931, during a period of financial hardship, and was for economic reasons built with a single-lane 12-foot (3.7 m) roadway.[2]
