Apple Road Bridge
Posted April 23, 2012, by David Backlin (us71 [at] cox [dot] net)

I visited this bridge on April 23. 2012 to find it no longer exists. It appears the county intends to replace it and the 2 nearby bridges with metal rail car culverts

Visited and photographed this ornate looking bridge on Tuesday, July 8, 2008. Bridge in need of general repair and maintainence. Before and after this bridge can be found 2 old cement relics constructed in the early 1930s. Fun bridge to photograph because of its ornate railing and with it being on a dirt road. Not too many bridges like it left in Arkansas. DUST..BUGS..HEAT..SUN..Yuk!!!
