I posted this list to MTR back in '06. Enjoy.
I sorted through the entire Ernie Deane archive (over 7000 pictures!)
There are pictures of everything from poultry plants to churches to
hillbilly musicians to livestock to railroad depots. Here are some of the
highway-related pictures:

The strange railroad signal are the letters S-T-O-P in red lenses that burn steady while the other lights flash.
As far as the potential Ouachita River bridge: if it is, he is shooting the picture facing south. Just around the bend would be the Rock Island RR's drawbridge.
I remember some of those "small" Arkansas shields from back in the early '80s. They were virtually if not completely gone by 1990.

There is supposed to be a "lost"
State 100 Road somewhere between Bentonville and Bella Vista.
I love those old State Road cutouts. They were long gone by the time I was a kid. Looks like some of them were still around in the 1960s, though, like that one in Mountain View.
