The Illinois River Bridge is a historic bridge, carrying a discontinued portion of Kincheloe Road (once designated Benton County Road 196) over the Illinois River northeast of the hamlet of Pedro, Arkansas. It is a single-span Pratt through truss with a span of 126 feet (38 m) and a total structure length of 206 feet (63 m). The bridge was built by the county in 1922, and was closed to traffic in 2004.[2]
