The public is invited to join elected officials, members of the Arkansas State Highway Commission, Arkansas Department of Transportation officials and other community leaders at 11 a.m. Friday, January 31, for a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate completion of the new Mulberry River Bridge.
The ribbon-cutting event will take place at the new Mulberry River Bridge on County Road 67 north of Interstate 40. See Map NR 25-010.3.
This new two-lane bridge is almost double the length and width of the former bridge, measuring approximately 622 feet long and 28 feet wide. Funding for the project comes from a combination of Federal-aid, State aid and County funds.
Manhattan Road and Bridge Company, LLC was awarded the contract for $8.8 million.
