Springfield Bridge – Beaverfork Park (Faulkner County, Arkansas) Historic Springfield Bridge over Beaverfork Lake in Conway, Texas.  The bridge is a wrought iron bowstring arch truss.

The bridge was originally erected in 1874 by the King Bridge Company (King Iron Bridge & Manufacturing Company of Cleveland, Ohio) on the Springfield-Des Arc Road over North Cadron Creek.  It was relocated to Beaverfork Park in Conway in 1996 and has been preserved as a pedestrian bridge in Beaverfork Park.

Conway County, Arkansas awarded the King Bridge Company a contract for the bridge in 1871.  However, in 1873 the Arkansas Legislature divided Conway County creating Faulkner County with the creek as the new county line.  The bridge was installed in 1874 with Conway County and the new Faulkner County splitting the cost.

The Springfield Bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988 (NRHP No. 88000660).
