The Newport Bridge is a historic cantilevered Warren truss bridge over the White River in Newport, Arkansas. Built in 1930 to carry U.S. Route 67 (US 67), the road it carries is now designated Arkansas Highway 367 (AR 367) after the former highway was relocated. The main bridge is 400feet long, with approaches from the west of 1278feet and the south of 911feet. It has cantilevered arms 138feet long supported by concrete piers, with a suspended Warren truss span of 125feet. Designed by Ira G. Hedrick, it is one of three such bridges in the state.[1]
The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.
This bridge has since been bypassed, and is scheduled for demolition.[2]
