Rockport Bridge, Spanning Ouachita River at Old State Highway No. 84, Malvern, Hot Spring County, AR
Summary
Significance: The Rockport Bridge is one of six Parker through truss bridges remaining in Arkansas, and is unique in the state because it has a camelback truss approach span at either end. The bridge is an excellent example of turn-of-the-century metal bridge construction. The bridge builder, Stupp Brothers Bridge and Iron Company, is one of the largest steel fabricators in the country, and is known to have built at least thirty bridges in Arkansas between 1900 and 1930.
