The Lee Creek Bridge in Natural Dam, Arkansas was a Pennsylvania through truss bridge that was built in 1934. It was a twin-span bridge with a total length of 587feet, which carried Arkansas Highway 59 across Lee Creek. It rested on concrete piers and abutments, had a vertical clearance of 14feet and had a roadbed 22feet wide.[1]
The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990, at which time it was one of four surviving Pennsylvania through truss bridges in the state.[1] Another bridge, in Van Buren, also crosses Lee Creek and is listed on the National Register.
This bridge was demolished and replaced in early 2018, and was removed from the National Register early in 2019.
