description

Summary

Significance: Both three-span continuous reinforced concrete slab bridges have a variable depth slab, concrete balustrades, safety walks, three-column concrete bents with arched caps, and spill through abutments. They have a greater degree of Moderne style detailing than is commonly found on most early 1950s state highway bridges. They are well proportioned, long span examples of concrete slab bridges. This resource possesses a state level of significance in the area of transportation as one of the earliest dualized major rural highways built in the state of Georgia. It also possesses significance for its method of road design and construction.
