The Davies Bridge carries Red Bluff Drive across Cedar Creek, just north of Arkansas Highway 154 in Petit Jean State Park, Arkansas. It is a single-span closed-spandrel masonry arch structure, with an arch 20feet long and 10feet high. It is built out of mortared ashlar fieldstone laid in courses, with some stones left rusticated and protruding from the sides. The bridge was built in 1934 by a crew of the Civilian Conservation Corps that was developing the park's facilities.[1]
The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.
