Brinkley Concrete Streets

The Brinkley Concrete Streets are several road sections in Brinkley, Arkansas. They include one block of Ash Street (between New York and Main Streets), and several on New York Street (between Ash and Lynn Streets). These roads are two lanes wide, and were built in 1928-29 out of concrete sections 14 feet (4.3 m) wide and about 24 feet (7.3 m). They were among the first 4 miles (6.4 km) of city streets to be paved, and followed the practice of the nearby Bankhead Highway sections, which were also built in concrete.[2]
