The White River Bridge is a five-span Warren deck truss bridge located near Beaver, Carroll County, Arkansas. It carries U.S. Route 62 over the White River for 786.90 feet (239.85 m).[2] Each span is about 128 feet (39 m) in length and is mounted on concrete piers or abutments. The bridge was built in 1950-52 by the Forcum-James Company of Dyersburg, Tennessee. It was the last of eleven deck-truss bridges built in the state, and is the only one of its type in the county.[3]

The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.[1]
