The Easley Bridge (sometimes called Rosa Bridge) is a 95 foot-long single-span covered bridge over the Dub branch of Calvert Prong, which becomes Locust Fork. It is located on an unnamed road near Blount County Highway 33 between the communites of Easley and Rosa, and is the oldest of three remaining covered bridges in Blount County.
The Easley Bridge was constructed in the "town truss" style by brothers Forrest and Zelmer C. Tidwell in 1927.
Blount County has been working to secure funding for structural analysis and conservation of its three covered bridges and may begin accepting bids in early 2009.
