The Buck Short Bridge, formally the Frank A. Hewitt Bridge, is a 600-foot bridge carrying Mount Olive Road over the Locust Fork of the Warrior River north of Mount Olive and west of Morris.
In 1982 the Jefferson County Public Works Department estimated that it would cost $1.3 million to repair deteriorating supports under the bridge. An alternative plan, to move the superstructure to new supports constructed a few feet away and reroute the approaches, cost about $520,000. The move was made in July of that year.
