The Greenville Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge crossing the Mississippi River between the U.S. states of Arkansas and Mississippi.
The main span of the bridge was completed April 17, 2006, but has yet to open to traffic. When the approach roads are finished in 2008, the bridge will carry US 82 (and, until the Charles W. Dean Bridge is built, US 278) across the river between Lake Village, Arkansas and Greenville, Mississippi. While the river is the commonly accepted state line, the official line lies on the east bank due to the river having shifted slightly westward since the boundary was set. Because of this, the Greenville Bridge is technically located entirely in Arkansas.
