The Amboy Overpass was a historic bridge in North Little Rock, Arkansas. Built in 1941, it carried MacArthur Drive ( Arkansas Highway 365) across the railroad tracks of the Union Pacific Railroad in the northwestern part of the city. It was a twelve-span structure with a total length of 573 feet (175 m), whose longest span was 80 feet (24 m). The carrying piers and abutments were all fashioned out of reinforced concrete, and a concrete balustrade ran along each side of the deck. [2] Due to structural deficiencies, the bridge was demolished and replaced by a new bridge in 2017.
The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995, [1] and was delisted in 2022. [3]
