There have been four bridges in Wetumpka’s history. The first was a covered wooden bridge. During the flood of 1844 the first bridge was washed away. The second bridge in Wetumpka was a toll bridge as the first, and it washed away in 1886. The third bridge was a steel strucutre and eventually was brought down from age. The fourth and current bridge is the Bibb Graves Bridge built in 1931. It is a concrete arch bridge, which is a testament that engineering can be an art form. The bridge was finished by 1937 and designed by Edward Houk. The bridge is named after former Governor Bibb Graves, the 14th and 42nd Governor of Alabama.
Congrats to Ohail on the FTF!
