The Amboy Overpass is a historic bridge in North Little Rock, Arkansas. Built in 1941, it carries MacArthur Drive (Arkansas Highway 365) across the railroad tracks of the Union Pacific Railroad in the northwestern part of the city. It is a twelve-span structure with a total length of 573 feet (175 m), whose longest span is 80 feet (24 m). The carrying piers and abutments are all fashioned out of reinforced concrete, and a concrete balustrade runs along each side of the deck.[2]

The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.[1]
