The Self Creek Bridge is a historic bridge near Daisy, Arkansas. The open spandrel deck arch bridge carries U.S. Route 70 over Self Creek near its mouth at Lake Greeson. It was built in 1949 at a cost of $287,000. It has three spans, with a total length of 692 feet (211 m). The bridge was built because the construction of the dam which impounds the lake required re-routing of the highway.[2]

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