Significance: The Smith-McGee Bridge is a three-span, pin-connected Camelback through truss bridge with approach ramps. It was built in 1922 as a toll bridge across the Savannah River. It was acquired in 1926 by Georgia and South Carolina and operates as a non-toll bridge. The bridge is a well-preserved example of a Camelback Truss and exhibits important features of the American System of pin connections.
