Summary
Significance: The vertical lift bridge at DeValls Bluff over the White River is one of only two such bridges in the state. It was designed in 1923 by the Missouri firm of Consultant Engineers, Harrington Howard and Ash, for the White River Bridge Company of Little Rock. Built by one of the more important bridge building companies, the Missouri Valley Bridge and Iron Company, in 1924, it remains today as a tribute to its prime motivator Harry E. Bovay, an entrepreneur from Stuttgart, Prairie County.
