Low-water bridges

There are several on Buffalo River in Arkansas.

are you referring to the one on Island Road?

Don't know the road name but you take a right past grace Church.

Well, several years ago they actually constructed a new bridge about 5-6' off the water, so only goes under a couple times a year whereas it used to be had water running over it at all times. It was timber too, not concrete

Might not be an exact match to your definition, but the bridges on Highway 11 in Irish Bayou are pretty low. A high tide or hard east wind or a combination of the two will put the water up to the bridge.

I have gotten caught in situations where I left to go fishing and then could not return on the way back. The water under the bridge near the levee is fairly deep and the current runs pretty good in that spot. (different than your shallow water requirement in the opening post)

I know of one in San Saba, Tx at the end of Sloan Rd where the San Saba River flows over the road.

The one I know of near St. Francisville crosses Bayou Sara just south of the Solitide Plantation area.

FelicianaTigeeFan ....was the one on Solitude up near the falls on the Thompson Creek headwaters area. Spent many moons on Thompson Creek growing up.

I miss the old one in Solitude that crossed Bayou Sara. Was always good for a laugh once a month when someone ran off it/ tried to cross during high water

Whenever we visited Pappy, he would let us know if we could take the low water bridge or if we had to take the high water bridge to the north. Once he must have gotten it wrong and we saw a truck washed off the road/slab and stuck in the sand.

The one in Solitude crosses Bayou Sara not far from St.Francisville

The only ones on Tompson creek are actually forks of Thompson Creek. There use to be an old one on Whitaker Rd just across the line in Mississippi.
