The Central Avenue Bridge is a historic bridge in Batesville, Arkansas. It carries Central Avenue across Poke Bayou on the city's west side. It is an open spandrel concrete structure, with five spans having a total length of 397 feet (121 m). The longest single span is 80 feet (24 m). The bridge was built in 1930 by the Luten Bridge Company, and features that company's signature rings in the spandrels, which provide additional strength with a minimal use of additional material.[2]
The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.[1]
