Newport Bridge (Arkansas)
The Newport Bridge is a historic cantilevered Warren truss bridge over the White River in Newport, Arkansas. Built in 1930 to carry U.S. Route 67 (US 67), the road it carries is now designated Arkansas Highway 367 (AR 367) after the former highway was relocated. The main bridge is 400 feet (120 m) long, with approaches from the west of 1,278 feet (390 m) and the south of 911 feet (278 m). It has cantilevered arms 138 feet (42 m) long supported by concrete piers, with a suspended Warren truss span of 125 feet (38 m). Designed by Ira G. Hedrick, it is one of three such bridges in the state.[2]
