The Fourche LaFave River Bridge carries Arkansas Highway 7 across the Fourche LaFave River in western Perry County, Arkansas, downstream of the Nimrod Dam. It is a three-span open spandrel concrete arch bridge, with its longest span measuring 184 feet (56 m), and its total length 518 feet (158 m). The arches are mounted on concrete abutments and piers. The bridge deck is asphalt, and is lined by decorate concrete balustrades. It was built in 1941 by the Luten Bridge Company, and is a well-preserved example of style from that period.[2]
The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.[1]
