Rockdale
County, Georgia
(WGN
10-122-A) (WGCB GA-122-A) (1997) A three-span
non authentic Stringer truss 151' 5" over Mill Rock Creek. Located:
Northeast of Zingara, Georgia on Haralson Mill Road. Directions:
From Loganville, Georgia, at the intersection of US 78 and SR 20, take
SR 20 south 7.0 miles to Bethel Road; go left to Haralson Mill Road; go
left to the bridge. It was built at a cost of $880,000.00. Construction
of the new bridge at this site was necessitated due to the planned raising
of the water level of Big Haynes Reservoir, that, at certain times of the
year would have inundated the roadway. It replaced an authentic historic
covered bridge. The bridge is two lanes wide and, constructed to
accommodate multi-axel vehicles. Is the longest non authentic covered
bridge in Georgia, and is also the longest in the Southeastern United States.
Inside the bridge, at each side, are pedestrian walkways, separated from
the two travel lanes by double planks, placed on edge and serving as tire
bumpers. It has a decorative lattice imitating the Town lattice truss
design of the replaced authentic covered bridge. Also known as the Rockdale Covered
Bridge and the Rockdale County Covered Bridge. (Mar
