Written by J Randall Houp
Originally built as the Smith Creek Bridge on Arkansas 309 in Franklin County. Replaced by a new "cement ugly" and was put in a field nearby where it sat for years. It was relocated at Little Shoal Creek on November 7, 2007 and I was proud to be there when this happened. Bridge sits south of Arkansas 22, behind the historic school house, in New Blaine, Arkansas. Good example of an excellent bridge being used elsewhere and not just thrown away for scrap.
