The Long–Allen Bridge was a truss bridge carrying Highway 8 across the Ouachita River at Harrisonburg in Catahoula Parish, Louisiana. This was the only point where La Route 8 crossed the Ouachita River in Louisiana. It was initially constructed in 1932 and carried approximately 3,000 vehicles per day.

The structure was considered to be in "poor standing" by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development. In August 2017, a replacement span, the Veterans Memorial Bridge, was opened. As of November 2017, the bridge was no longer in commission, and in January 2018, it was demolished.
