The Euharlee Covered Bridge, also known as the Euharlee Creek Covered Bridge or rarely the Lowry Bridge, is a wooden covered bridge crossing Euharlee Creek in Euharlee, Georgia, United States, a small town west of Cartersville. The bridge was built after the raging creek swept away an old bridge on the property of Daniel Lowry. The collapse of the bridge killed one man. A new bridge was built using some materials provided by Lowry.[1]
The bridge was built in the late 19th century by Horace King's son Washington King and another man. Traffic finally stopped across the bridge in 1980 when a new two-lane bridge was built.[2]
