Facts and practical information

The Marr's Creek Bridge is a historic bridge spanning Marr's Creek in Pocahontas, Arkansas. The concrete open spandrel deck arch bridge formerly carried U.S. Route 67, which now passes over the creek on an adjacent modern steel and concrete structure.

The bridge was widened slightly at its eastern end in 1950 to accommodate a slight curve. ()
