The North Fork Bridge carries Arkansas Highway 5 over the North Fork River, or the North Fork of the White River, in Norfork, Arkansas. It is a modern steel girder bridge, replacing a 1937 Warren deck truss bridge, which was the first road crossing of the North Fork River in Norfork. The 1937 bridge, demolished in 2014,^[2] was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1990.^[1]

History

The 1937 bridge was a four-span structure designed by the Arkansas Highway & Transportation and built by Vincennes Bridge Co. A total of 518 feet (158 m) in length, the bridge represented an early example steel deck construction. Two of the spans were cantilevered, extending 28 feet (8.5 m) beyond the piers and providing the suspension points for the other two spans.^[3] The bridge was documented by the Historic American Engineering Record in 1988.^[4]
