The Judsonia Bridge is a historic bridge, carrying Van Buren Street (County Road 66) across the Little Red River on the south side of Judsonia, Arkansas. It is a three-span metal truss swing bridge, with a total structure length of 397 feet (121 m). Its center span is 266 feet (81 m) long, and is mounted on a pivot on a central pier. It and the two approach trusses are all Warren trusses. Built in 1924, it is one of three known swing bridges in the state, and the only one with a cantilevered swinging truss.[2] It was closed to traffic in 2007, and reopened in 2013 after restoration.

The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.[1]
