Sylamore Creek Bridge

The Sylamore Creek Bridge is a historic bridge in east central Stone County, Arkansas, just south of the Ozark-St. Francis National Forest. It carries County Road 283 across Sylamore Creek, a short way west of Arkansas Highway 9 and north of the Holiday Mountain Resort in Allison. It is a wire-cable suspension bridge, with steel towers mounted on concrete piers supporting four main cables that are anchored into concrete abutments. The bridge is 202 feet (62 m) long, with a deck width of 19 feet 6 inches (5.94 m) and a clearance height of 11 feet (3.4 m). Built in 1945, it is one of three known wire-cable bridges in the state.[2]
