The Cove Creek Bridge is a historic bridge in rural eastern Conway County, Arkansas. It carries Arkansas Highway 124 across Cove Creek, just west of the hamlet of Martinsville, and west of the city of Twin Groves. It is a three-span steel structure with a total length of 267 feet (81 m). The main span is a Pratt through truss 101 feet (31 m), mounted on concrete piers, while the approach spans on either end are smaller pony trusses each 83 feet (25 m) long. The bridge was built in 1957, and is the 1950s Pratt truss bridge in the state.[2]

The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.[1]

The bridge was replaced in 2011
