Notes
  • Significance: The Seaboard Coast Line Railroad Bridge spans the Savannah River between Abbeville County, S.C., and Elbert County, Ga. The structure is a 24-span plate girder railroad bridge which spans 1,790' across the Savannah River. The bridge site was first developed in 1890, rebuilt in 1909 and 1928, and took its present form in 1930. This site comprises the first permanent railroad crossing of the Savannah River above Augusta and played a critical role in the shipment of granite from Elberton's newly founded granite industry.
