The Helena Bridge is a cantilever bridge carrying U.S. Route 49 across the Mississippi River between Helena, Arkansas and Lula, Mississippi.

The main cantilever span was modeled on the similar Benjamin G. Humphreys Bridge which had been built downstream by Arkansas and Mississippi roughly two decades earlier.

The total length of the bridge is slightly less than a mile and it replaced an earlier ferry.

[1][2] The bridge superstructure suffered its first substantial damage from a barge accident in July 1997.
