STATE PARK
BRIDGE
This bridge, which connects the
Cook County side of Reed Bingham State Park with the Colquitt
County side, was completed in 1974 and was dedicated on July
13, 1974 by Governor Jimmy Carter.
Serving as an outstanding state
park facility for South Georgia since 1958, this park located
on Little River was separated by the river and needed a bridge
to connect the two heavily used areas of the park and facilitate
public usage.
Many improvements to Reed Bingham
State Park were made possible through the interest of then Governor
Jimmy Carter who worked closely with the Georgia Department of
Transportation and local officials to complete this important
link between the two sides of the park.
In February 1977, the Georgia House
and Senate passed resolutions which directed that this marker
be erected to commemorate the dedication of this bridge by Governor
Carter as well as to acknowledge the outstanding contributions
of Governor Carter to the State of Georgia.
