Notes
  • Significance: The Tallulah Falls Bridge was constructed in 1938-1939 to eliminate traffic congestion on narrow roadway on top of the adjacent Tallulah Falls Dam. At the time it was constructed, the 505' bridge contained one of the longest plate girder spans in the United States. The bridge is significant for the engineering aspects of its design. The siting of the bridge over Tallulah Gorge, which lends the bridge distinction, dictated the design of the bridge. Few, if any, of the other bridges in the state can compete with the dramatic setting of Tallulah Gorge whose rock walls rapidly drop to the river, leaving the bridge to cross approximately 165' over the riverbed.
