The Lincoln Avenue Viaduct, also known as the Cantrell Road Bridge, is a historic bridge, now carrying the westbound lands of Cantrell Road (Arkansas Highway 10) across railroad tracks in downtown Little Rock, Arkansas. The bridge is a rainbow arch structure built out of steel and concrete, with an arch length of 90 feet (27 m), and a total structure length of 144 feet (44 m). The bridge was built in 1928 by the Missouri-Pacific Railroad and given to the city; it is the only bridge of its type in the state.[2]

The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.[1]
