The Lee Creek Bridge in Natural Dam, Arkansas is a Pennsylvania through-truss bridge that was built in 1934. It is a twin-span bridge with a total length of 587 feet (179 m), which carries Arkansas Highway 59 across Lee Creek. It rests on concrete piers and abutments, has a vertical clearance of 14 feet (4.3 m) and has a roadbed 22 feet (6.7 m) wide.[2]

The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990,[1] at which time it was one of four surviving Pennsylvania through-truss bridges in the state.[2] Another bridge, in Van Buren, also crosses Lee Creek and is listed on the National Register.
