White River Bridge at Elkins

The White River Bridge in Elkins, Arkansas is a historic structure carrying County Road 44 over the White River in eastern Washington County.

The bridge is a patented closed-spandrel arch design called the Luten arch, owned by the Luten Bridge Company of Knoxville, Tennessee, which emphasized strengthened piers and abutments, resulting in a reduced need for material.

This bridge has three arches, with a total length of 192 feet (59 m).

After construction in 1921, farmers in southeast Washington County were better able to bring their products to market in Elkins.
