WEST FORK, Ark. (AP) - West Fork leaders say they want to restore a nearly 100-year-old bridge and use it as a trail connection.
The Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports (https://bit.ly/2hE3E2P ) that the Woolsey Bridge is being moved from about 2 miles south of West Fork to the city where it will eventually be restored.
The 300-foot, camelback truss bridge was built in 1925 and stretched across the White River until it was recently retired by state transportation authorities.

The bridge was on a side road connecting the Woolsey community to U.S. 71. Mayor Heith Caudle says it will be replaced by a new bridge.
The one-lane structure is the only surviving bridge in the area built in the camelback style.
