Franklin D. Roosevelt Memorial Bridge

Pine Mountain Scenic Highway and the bridge spanning historic King’s Gap stand as 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 Mountain and, with federal funds available, forwarded construction. King’s Gap, a natural break in the Pine Mountain barrier, was the site of an early settlement on the stage route between Newnan and Columbus. King’s Gap Post Office functioned from May 16, 1829 to October 7, 1856. The bridge and Scenic Highway were built from 1934 to 1938.
