Susan Shepherd Prosser, August, BUSTS CEUNIY POAD 230 EKEDGE (BRIDGE HAER No. GA-71 (Rage 2) GDOT Bridge #035/00230/X/00048E is a one span Pratt pony truss . This bridge measures 60 feet by 143 feet. It is one of ten Pratt pony truss bridges recorded in the Georgia Historic Bridge Survey. It is the only such bridge recorded in Butts County. The bridge does not possess a bridge plate. However, according to GDOT Maintenance records, the bri dge was constructed in The historical context of this bridge is unknown. The Georgia Department of Transportation was established in Prior to the establishment of GDOT the responsibility of 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 of construction of bridges were rarely kept. Therefore, unless the bridge 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 historic events, periods, activities or people.
