Isabell Creek AR 105 Bridge

Posted October 17, 2008, by james crabill (jcrabil [at] centurytel [dot] net)

With a deck width of 18 feet I think this has been changed to a single lane bridge. Looking at the aerial photos supports this. A picture looking at the side shows the marker signs for what appears to be a narrowing of the road at the bridge. This one will most likely be replaced soon due to safety issues on a state highway.
