Soper's Mill Bridge is a bridge near what used to be Soper's Mill and built by King Iron Bridge & Manufacturing Company in 1879. Unfortunately, it washed away in June 17, 1996 when Skunk River flooded. Before it was washed away, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 14, 1978. All that remains are the two concrete footings on both sides of the river.

The current bridge, some 100 feet downstream, was built in 1939.
