Remembering when Clarks Bridge closed for over a year after 1919 flood
Placeholder Image
It has been inconvenient the last few days for those who use Clarks Bridge Road in northern Hall County as the new bridge is prepared for traffic shortly. Not nearly as bad, however, as it was in 1919-22 when the road was without a bridge because of a flood. Clarks Bridge Road wasn’t even paved in 1919 when heavy rains that December turned the Chattahoochee River into a monster and washed the bridge downstream.
