The bridge that carries Arkansas Highway 274 across Little Cypress Creek (about 0.25 miles (0.40 km) from its junction with Highway 203), near Thornton, Arkansas in Calhoun County, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.[1] The wooden trestle bridge was built in 1940, and is 105 feet (32 m) long and has a total width of 31 feet (9.4 m), with a deck 28.4 feet (8.7 m) wide. It is divided into seven spans, the longest of which is 15 feet (4.6 m). Its abutments and piers are all of wood, and the bridge deck is wood covered with asphalt.[2]
