Description
The Ernest Vandiver Causeway crosses the Chattahoochee River between Eufaula, Alabama and Georgetown, Georgia. The crossing is mostly composite concrete fill, but at the far western end is a steel haunched deck plate girder bridge, which is a design of girder bridge that outside of Arkansas is relatively uncommon. An unusual alternation to the structure is that a large concrete block has been added on top of one of the piers - it is not clear what purpose this alteration served or may be presently serving.
