Rockdale County Bridge

Rockdale Bridge

Bridge NavigatorGeorgia's latest covered bridge isn't historic, but exemplifies the interest the public still has in covered bridges. Originally designed as a prestressed concrete bridge, county planners decided to make this bridge a landmark, adding a large wooden superstructure and rock facing to the underlying concrete bridge. Total cost of the redesigned bridge: $880,000. Concerned about the possibility of fire, this bridge is equipped with cameras, smoke detectors, and a sprinkler system. For more information see JReinhl's page containing the text of a Rockdale County brochure about the bridge as well as some of his own information. Also, the city of Conyers has a page about the bridge on their website.
