Design Details: I believe the bridge has been at this location since it was built. The piers have been upgraged and new approach piers added/upgraded, probably most recently at the time of the creation of the McClellan-Kerr Navigation System on the AR River- in the mid to late 1960s. The Bridge sits near the mouth of Lee Creek where it empties into the Arkansas River.

Carries Lake Fort Smith Road over Warloop Creek
Design: beam/tee
Design Details: This bridge is a concrete Tee Beam in design and has a slight arch to it. Typical of the style in the late 1920s and early 1930s you can see the form marks from the dimensional lumber used for concrete forms. The piers also have that characteristic and a slight taper toward the top. The rails are in good condition and the deck was reworked for the Lake Fort Smith expansion.
Total Length: 122.1 Feet
Span Length: 40.0 Feet

Overview: Concrete tee beam bridge over Warloop Creek on Lake Fort Smith Road
History: I believe this bridge was built as a part of Lake Fort Smith contruction, and has been maintained by the City of Fort Smith during the lake expansion project.
