The Fort Chaffee Redevelopment Authority was originally going to reuse this bridge, but has changed their mind. It is now scheduled to be demolished by the end of January 2018.
To be preserved in a new location (hopefully):

Nice pics Wendy.....Love the dark clouds in the sky.
Visited this bridge at 5:30 pm on 25 Feb '07. Arrived almost at sunset, but I got a few decent photos from each side and through the windshield as I drove across. Lee creek was up from rain the day before so profile views were out of the question. Upstream of this bridge is Natural Dam that is so close, if you don't visit you've missed out big time. It is a pretty spot with a 4' cragy ledgedrop, and a low-water bridge just below it. A nice picnic area with ample parking is adjacent to the falls.
Webmaster's note: The photos that were here have been incorporated into the main site.
I have lived in Natural Dam all of my life. Natural dam is a wonderful place to live the bridge is beautiful and so is the dam. Two years ago the dam and the bridge flooded and was so coll except for the people who's house flooded. the bridge was closed for about two hours and that bridge is tall for it to be flooded. Well I hope you come to Natural dam and visit us some time.
I am sad to report that this bridge has been demolished. According to the AR Dept. of Transportation, the date plaque from the bridge has been donated to the Natural Dam Community Center to be displayed there. The photo below was taken a few days before the bridge was taken down.
