Bynum Bridge was entered into the National Registry of Historic Places on April 23, 2020. Built in 1922 and closed to vehicles in 1999, the bridge still occupies a place of community importance in the village of Bynum. It’s history, unique characteristics, and place in the community are detailed in this article by Diane Swan and Debbie Tunnell, whose hard work resulted in the historic designation for this Chatham County landmark. Even those who know Bynum will likely learn something from this article.

A plaque was placed on the bridge in February 2021 noting the historic designation.
