This bridge, 120 feet long – spanning 96 feet, was built in 1892 by the firm of Herring and Alford.

Using the town lattice construction, its cost of $1,199 was funded by the Upson County Commission. It is the last remaining covered bridge in Upson County and was restored in 1985 by the Upson Preservation Commission. Dr J.W.
