Miller Creek Bridge
The Miller Creek Bridge is a historic bridge, carrying Millers Creek Road across Millers Creek, just north of the city limits of Batesville, Arkansas. Built in 1914, it is the state's oldest surviving concrete bridge. It is a two-span arched structure with a total length of 123 feet (37 m), and a width of 12 feet (3.7 m), carrying a single lane of traffic. The bridge is somewhat overengineered, as the use of concrete in bridge construction was then relatively new, and knowledge of the material's properties in this application was not well understood.[2]
