Located
in Meriwether County, GA 194 forms a cutoff road between two notable tourist
towns including formentioned Warm Springs and Pine Mountain. GA 194 is
also known as Durand Road and extends for 6 miles.
Nearby Pine
Mountain is home to the very popular Callaway Gardens park and resort
and Warm Springs is home the famous springs that FDR enjoyed near his
"Little White House".
GA 194 was
commissioned in the 1940's and paved by the late 1950's.

Thought
not part of the actual highway, just off of the highway on adjoining
Mitchum Road, a vintage wooden bridge can be found in very nice
condition over a railroad. Note the scene of Pine Mountain behind
the photo. A few of these still exist across Georgia, but the
few remaining are endangered due to the costly issues of wood
structures.

It
is understood that a bridge very much like this one was found
on now decommissioned GA 222 nearby. Because of that, it was fascinating
to find this similar bridge. Note that the structure of the bridge
is entirely creosote-coated wood.
