We just accidently happened upon that bridge last month on our way to Eureka Springs. For some reason when we put in 100 Main St. Eureka Springs into our GPS it took us to 100 Main Street in the town of Beaver, which is right by the bridge. It's kind of a hairy situation to drive across because there aren't any signals to let you know when to go, you just have to hope that no one else is coming from the other direction in a small car because you can't see the other side due to the curvature of the deck of the bridge. I guess whoever isn't further across would have to back up to make way for the other person to cross.

Definitely a cool thing to just happen to come upon. I never knew a bridge like that existed, much less across Table Rock.

Here's the picture I took when we were waiting to cross.

Lol no box trucks but the truck on the bridge is ok.

Lol. I think it was an ice delivery truck.

While the bridge is marked no trucks, US Mail, UPS, and any number of deliveries out of Rogers and Bentonville use it regularly. When the bridge flooded several years ago, residents parked on the HI side and waded across on the bridge to avoid the roundabout on the worst part of 62.

For the benefit of any of you that come upon the bridge, allow me to describe the method and the etiquette. At both ends of the bridge, you will see a stop sign. Stop there, not in front of it. You can see the other end from that point. Wait long enough to allow anyone who is on the backside of the bridge that you cannot see to reach the crest. Then you can proceed. Polite people alternate turns at this bridge and the other one on the way into Eureka from Holiday Island on 187. If in doubt, turn your headlights on and off to indicate you want the other person to go first. However, do not assume the other person knows or respects the drill.

I do love living here.
