The Old River Bridge is a historic bridge spanning the Saline River near Benton in Saline County, Arkansas. Now closed to traffic, it formerly carried River Street in Benton across the river south of the city. It is a two-span through truss bridge, mounted on cylindrical concrete columns. It was built in 1889 along the route of the historic military road through the area, and is one of the state's oldest surviving bridges. It was taken out of service in 1974.[2]
