Historical Description
The historical context of this bridge is unknown. The Georgia Department of Transportation was established in Prior to its establishment, the responsibility for roads and bridges in Georgia rested with the counties. It has been found from researching a number of bridges on the Georgia Historic Bridge Survey that records on the construction of bridges on county rural systems and, to a larger degree, on state systems were rarely kept. Therefore, unless the bridges possesses a bridge plate identifying the date of construction, the bridge company, or the county officers at the time of construction, it is virtually impossible to associate the bridge with historical events, periods, activities, or people.
