The Zinc Swinging Bridge is a pedestrian suspension bridge spanning Sugar Orchard Creek in the small town of Zinc, Arkansas. Located adjacent to Washington Street, it is constructed out of triangular concrete piers, metal cables 1.25 inches (3.2 cm) thick, with wooden planking supported by runner borders bolted to the cables. The bridge is 104 feet (32 m) long, its piers set 60 feet (18 m) apart. The bridge was built in 1927, and has needed only modest repairs. It is one of a small number of suspension bridges in the state, and one of its most distinctive.[2]
The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007 (as "Zinc Swinging Bridge-BO0162", reflecting the inclusion of its state cultural survey identifier).[1]
