Benjamin G. Humphreys Bridge (demolished)

Greenville MS to, Chicot County

The U.S. 82 bridge between Greenville, Mississippi, and Lake Village was built with a $2.55 million Reconstruction Finance Corporation loan plus WPA money secured in 1938. Barge strikes and traffic made it unsafe, and it was taken down and replaced in 2011.
