Description
This is the modern bridge built in 1984 that replaced the former bridge, Hunt Bridge, a two span pass thru truss earlier built at this point on the Fourche LaFave River. The old historic bridge is listed on Bridgehunter as the Fourche LaFave Arkansas 307 Bridge. Remnants of the previous bridge are still visible on the north side of the current bridge.Facts

I would agree. I do not think we need the entire Arkansas bridge inventory added to Bridgehunter.
Just being 50 years old does not make it worthy of mention. I’m going to blunt, this site has been getting awfully watered down the past year or so with non-historic nor notable highway and rail bridges.
I understand beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I always ask myself a few questions… Does adding this bridge take away from the awareness of truly notable structures? Would anyone notice or care if this bridge was gone?
