New Salem Covered Bridge

Banks County, US

The New Salem Covered Bridge, near Commerce, Georgia, was a multiple kingpost truss covered bridge built in 1915. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. It spanned a branch of Grove Creek, and was located 6 miles (9.7 km) north of Commerce on SR S992. By 1974 it had been

bypassed by a modern concrete bridge, so it was no longer used. It was a 47 feet (14 m) long single span bridge and collapsed in 1984.
