The Springfield Bridge is a historic bowstring truss bridge, located in Beaverfork Lake Park in Conway, Arkansas, USA. It originally spanned Cadron Creek in rural Faulkner County east of Springfield. It is 188 feet (57 m) long, set on stone abutments, with tubular metal top chords that rise 15 feet (4.6 m) above the bottom chords. Built circa 1871–74, it is the oldest documented highway bridge in the state and its only documented bowstring arch bridge.[2]
The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[1] In 2015, the Faulkner County Historical Society began a drive to relocate the bridge as part of a local trail network. The bridge has suffered from neglect due to its remote location as well as damage by fire and vandalism. The bridge was moved to its present location in 2017.
