NOTE:
Survey number HAER AR-23
Building/structure dates: 1931 initial construction
Significance: The bridge over the Buffalo River was erected by Luttjohann of Topeka, Kansas, a successful contractor in Arkansas. The bridge design was completed, following standard Highway Department bridge drawings, in only one day. The success of the structure, which may be considered to be the epitome of steel through truss principles, is undoubtedly due to the care of the contractor as much as it is due to the work of the State Highway Department.
