swung out, like a gate, to provide passage for steamboats and, at times, heavy masses of driftwood. The entire bridge was flexible and any of the sections could be removed. Removal was frequently a necessity. During high flow and flood periods, the entire structure could be disconnected, swung out, and anchored along the river banks. There were five anchor piers across the river about 100 yards upstream of the bridge and were built in the shape of a pyramid, with a sharp edge turned to the current, and heavily ballasted with rock. The tallest rose nearly 30 feet above the average water level. The bridge was connected to the piers by steel cables, each pier anchoring several bridge sections. A small stern-wheel steamboat was kept in commission to handle the structure and, in conjunction with a barge, serve as a freight and passenger ferry when the bridge was "out."

sinking of thirty pontoons of the old and historic bridge, across the Arkansas river, the one link between this city and Russellville, and points to the north, was the most serious result of the storm, and for one time being will cause great inconvenience. The bridge, owned by the Russellville and Dadanelle railroad, a branch of the Missouri Pacific, is over eight hundred yards long, and is said to be the longest pontoon bridge in America. Each of the pontoons covers about fourteen feet. They were sunk by the weight of the snow. The bridge, while a wagon and foot bridge, is used by the railroad in transferring all freight and passengers across the river.

Shinn was subsequently awarded $ 5,612 for the amount of the court award, interest, and costs. A Sherriff's sale was to be held on March 20, 1893, to raise funds to satisfy the judgment. A motion was filed in October 1893 in the Supreme Court to set aside the judgment awarded to Shinn, but on November 11, the Supreme Court refused to grant the motion.

185:(LR&FS) freight cars. In an eight-month period before D&R began operations on its 4.8-mile line, 15,000 bales of cotton had been shipped from Dardanelle. D&R lowered the cost of shipping by eliminating the need to haul heavy loads over an unpaved road that was often impassable because of wear from the heavy freight traffic. The pontoon bridge, when completed, eliminated the need for the ferry which, at times, was an expensive bottleneck for freight traffic. 80:. The military road, which had also served as a post road and a route for travelers, had been designated by 1871 Arkansas legislation as a public highway under the jurisdiction of individual county governments. Before the pontoon bridge, the crossing in the Dardanelle area had previously been serviced by ferries. Until a bridge was erected at Morrilton in 1918, the Dardanelle bridge was the only one crossing the Arkansas River between Little Rock and Fort Smith. 173:(D&R) had decided to have a pontoon bridge built across the river at Dardanelle, to be built by the Kansas City Pontoon Bridge Company, at a projected cost of "about $ 35,000" —equivalent to about $ 1,151,500 in early 2023. The company expected to have its bridge completed and in operation within ninety days. Before D&R went into service in 1883, agricultural products—primarily cotton—had been transported by ferry from Dardanelle to 248:, the D&R Railroad lost several feet of track, and the wagon road had fallen in so that no hauling could be done until a new right-of-way was secured. The pontoon bridge was swung open in time to save it, though part did break loose but was captured and cabled to the bank about two miles below Dardanelle. Two of the bridge towers also washed away. 367:

In May 1892, a portion of the bridge, twenty-seven boats were washed away.
