Petit Jean River Bridge

The Petit Jean River Bridge was a historic bridge in rural northeastern Yell County, Arkansas. It is located north of Ola, and carries County Road 49 across the Petit Jean River. It was a single-span Pratt through truss, with a truss length of 119 feet (36 m) long, and a total structure length of 159 feet (48 m). The trusses rest on concrete pillars. The bridge was 12 feet (3.7 m) wide, allowing for a single lane of traffic. Built in 1930, it was one of three Pratt truss bridges in the county.[2] On February 1, 2019, the bridge was destroyed by an overweight truck[3]
