FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL BRIDGE

Pine Mountain Scenic highway & this bridge, spanning historic King's
Gap, are living monuments to President Roosevelt's abiding interest
in the natural features of Warm Springs' environs.
He, personally, selected the location of this road atop Pine Mtn. & with
Federal funds available, forwarded construction.

King's Gap, a natural break in the Pine Mtn. barrier,
was the site of an early settlement on the stage route between
Newnan & Columbus. King's Gap Post Office functioned
from May 16, 1829 to October 7, 1856. Bridge and
Scenic Highway were built, 1934-1938.
