Lorell, the bridge was constructed in 1840 by freed slave Horace King. Mr King built quite a number of covered bridges in the deep south and was known for his skill in doing so. I think this bridge is mostly original although there have been some repairs over the years. It is the longest in Georgia if you count the approaches. There is one bridge in the state that is slightly longer in the actual covered span over a river, but Red Oak Creek is the only one that still allows light traffic.

Wonder where Patty got off to?
