Springfield-Des Arc Bridge, Spanning North Branch of Cadron Creek at Old Springfield-Des Arc Road (County Road 222), Springfield, Conway County, AR

Report includes engineering analysis of Burr arch truss.

Significance: For almost two centuries, from 1735 until 1926, this site was used for water-powered industries. Erected in 1860 by local bridge builder Joseph G. Johnson, Gilpin's Falls Covered Bridge is a good example of a Burr truss, patented in 1806 and 1817 by Theodore Burr. The Burr truss was used extensively for covered bridges throughout the nineteenth century. After years of decay, the bridge was stabilized and rehabilitated in 2009-10 by timber framer Timothy Andrews, who used traditional timber framing methods, replaced historic fabric with in-kind material, and saved as many original components as possible.
