Sorry. Please disregard previous post. I was referring to another bridge just down the road. Your description of the bridge is accurate. The road is Methodist Church Road.

The bridge that is referred to as Methodic Church Bridge is actually a bridge on Old State Road at the intersection of Old State Road and Methodist Church Road. It does span the St. John's Creek in Franklin County.
