The Lake No. 1 Bridge is a historic bridge carrying Avondale Road across the northern tip of Lake Number 1 in North Little Rock, Arkansas. It is a closed-spandrel stone arch bridge with Rustic styling, built in the 1920s as part of the Lakewood development promoted by developer Justin Mathews. It has a single elliptical arch, spanning 18 feet (5.5 m), with a total structure length of 30 feet (9.1 m). It was one of eight stone arch bridges built in the state between 1923 and 1939, and one of the few that was privately built. ^[2]

The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. ^[1]
