*********************
▶ Martin L. Ruff — a prominent pioneer settler of Cobb County, who owned land and mills nearby— built the Concord Covered Bridge in 1872. Constructed to a queen post 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 only covered bridge still in use on a public highway in metropolitan Atlanta.
— paraphrase of plaque at bridge entrance.

*****************
▶ "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 surrounding Concord Covered Bridge Historic Area —and Heritage Park— also feature remnants of Ruff's Mill (the scene of a Civil War battle) and ruins of a dam and woolen mill. The miller's house is now a private residence."
