The New Salem Covered Bridge, near Commerce, Georgia, is a multiple kingpost truss covered bridge built in 1915. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.[1]

It spans a branch of Grove Creek, and is located 6 miles (9.7 km) north of Commerce on SR S992. By 1974 it had been bypassed by a modern concrete bridge, so it is no longer used. It is a 47 feet (14 m) long single span bridge.[2]
