Shallowford Bridge, crossing the scenic Toccoa River in Fannin County, was actually rehabilitated in 2006 in lieu of demolition. Note that all authentic structural elements including the metal railings and wooden bridge deck were perfectly preserved. This bridge adds much to the area, and aids in the tourist potential of the region. Unfortunately, bridges like this being treated in this manner are a rarity.
