Kings River CR 306 Bridge
Searching for a photograph of this old bridge. My great-grandfather, Isaac Granville Houp, used to live in Kings River Township, in Carroll County, Arkansas. Would like to hear from anyone with old stories about this bridge or with historical data. When was this bridge torn down and where did it go? Did it go to bridge heaven, thrown into the Kings River, or sold for scrap???
