You are looking for a lock-n-lock container. It is camouflaged by natural material. There is parking nearby and available 24 - 7. This is also part of a multi-stage cache - Going in Circles! You will find a letter and number in the top of the container. These need to be recorded so you will know where the final location is for this multi-stage cache.
Bridges are a personal favorite of mine. While I was working with the GA. D.O.T. I had the privilage of overseeing the construction of two smaller bridges on Hwy 19 in Taylor County and the Flint River bridge joining Upson and Taylor Counties. Those bridges are similar in construction to this bridge. They all are beam bridges. Beam bridges are horizontal beams supported at each end by substructure units and can be either simply supported when the beams only connect across a single span, or continuous when the beams are connected across two or more spans. When there are multiple spans, the intermediate supports are known as piers. The earliest beam bridges were simple logs that sat across streams and similar simple structures. In modern times, beam bridges can range from small, wooden beams to large, steel boxes. The vertical force on the bridge becomes a shear and flexural load on the beam which is transferred down its length to the substructures on either side. They are typically made of steel, concrete or wood. Beam bridge spans rarely exceed 250 feet (76 m) long, as the flexural stresses increase proportional to the square of the length (and deflection increases proportional to the 4th power of the length).
