Well the old bridge is completely gone now. There are a few reminders that remain but those will also fade over time until eventually there will be no trace of our old friend. Thanks to everyone who contributed to this page and all who shared memories of this bridge.

The last piece of the bridge...one pier left. It will all be gone soon.

You can buy a raffle ticket for a chance to blow up one of the piers on the bridge. I don't think I could push the button...

At the push of a button sometime next month, the old Greenville Bridge pier on the Arkansas side of the Mississippi River will be blown up, shooting the the mighty Mississippi River waters hundreds of feet into the air.
