The Osage Creek Bridge is a historic bridge in southern Benton County, Arkansas. The bridge formerly carried County Road 71 (Colonel Myers Road) across Osage Creek, about 4.5 miles (7.2 km) north of Tontitown, but it has been closed. It is a single-span iron Pratt through truss structure, with a span of 124 feet (38 m), resting on concrete abutments. It has a lattice guardrail on one side, a feature that rarely survives on bridges of this type. The bridge was built in 1911 by an unknown builder, and is one of about 60 Pratt truss bridges in the state.[2]
The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[1]
