The Leaf River Bridge was constructed in 1907 and spans the Leaf River in Greene County, Mississippi. When a new bridge was constructed across the Leaf River on a county road (old Mississippi Highway 24) north of McLain, the old bridge was removed from service and access was terminated. The 1907 bridge was declared a Mississippi Landmark in 1987[3] and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[2]
