The Ben Laney Bridge is a historic bridge carrying U.S. Route 79 Business over the Ouachita River in Camden, Arkansas. The steel Pratt truss bridge was built in 1945-47, and dedicated to Acting Governor (and former Camden mayor) Benjamin Travis Laney. Its construction was delayed due to a shortage of steel. The bridge consists of three trusses with a total span of 129 feet (39 m), resting on reinforced concrete piers and abutments. The bridge also includes a 548-foot (167 m) approach of I-beam decking, which was built in 1934.[2]

The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.[1]
