The Mulberry River Bridge, also known as the Silver Bridge and the Wire Ford Bridge,[1] is a historic Pratt through truss bridge northeast of Pleasant Hill, Arkansas, now a neighborhood of the city of Mulberry. The bridge (which is closed for renovations) normally carries Wire Road/Center Point Road across the Mulberry River. The bridge has three spans, set on metal caissons filled with concrete, and has a total length of 342feet. Each span measures 105feet, and has a deck width of 12feet and a vertical clearance of 13feet.[2] In 1927 it was rebuilt when two of the three spans were washed out by the Mulberry River.[1] The bridge is the last known multi-span Pratt through truss bridge in the state.[2]
The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007, and was delisted in 2024.
