▶ <i>Martin L. Ruff — a prominent pioneer settler of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobb_County,_Georgia" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Cobb County</a>, who owned land and mills nearby— built the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruff's_Mill_and_Concord_Covered_Bridge" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Concord Covered Bridge</a> in 1872. Constructed to a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_post" rel="noreferrer nofollow">queen post</a> design, the bridge replaced another believed to have been built in the 1840s and destroyed during the Civil War. Rebuilt again since (including by Ruff's son), the bridge is the <b>only covered bridge still in use on a public highway in metropolitan Atlanta</b>.</i>

*****************
▶ "<i>The bridge is 131.7 feet long and 16 feet wide. It originally consisted of two spans, each a queen-post truss with steel (or iron) tension rods. The center abutment seems to have been widened from a previous bridge using the same pier. In the 1950s, steel beams and concrete piers were added to support the bridge.

The miller's house is now a private residence.</i>"
