Aging bridge is Lulas span of contention

Lula City Manager Dennis Bergin told the Lula City Council on Monday night that a meeting with Norfolk Southern railroad to show them the Department of Transportation report may take awhile to schedule, thus forcing the bridge to stay closed an extended period of time.
To outsiders, Lula’s wooden bridge may look like something you’d ride over at your own risk, its aging frame spanning the railroad tracks like a crooked finger. But don’t criticize it too hard to local residents. The Cobb Street bridge is a beloved landmark, much like the nearby bright red caboose, narrow underpass up the road, festivals and all else that reflects this northeast Hall County town’s railroad heritage.
