Description: The Big Dam Bridge in Arkansas, spanning the Arkansas River between Little Rock and North Little Rock, is a remarkable feat of engineering and a celebrated landmark. Completed in 2006, it holds the distinction of being the longest pedestrian and bicycle bridge in North America that has never been used by motor vehicles, stretching an impressive 4,226 feet. The bridge not only serves as a vital connector for the Arkansas River Trail, promoting outdoor recreation and healthy living, but also offers stunning panoramic views of the river and surrounding landscapes. Its name, a playful nod to its size and the Murray Lock and Dam over which it is built, reflects the community's pride and sense of humor. The Big Dam Bridge has become a popular destination for locals and tourists alike, hosting events such as marathons, cycling races, and the annual Big Dam Bridge 100, further cementing its status as an iconic symbol of Arkansas's commitment to outdoor activities and community engagement.
