Buster Boyd Bridge, Road bridge in Lake Wylie and Steele Creek, United States
Description
The Buster Boyd Bridge is a road bridge made of prestressed concrete that spans Lake Wylie and connects North Carolina and South Carolina. The structure accommodates four traffic lanes in each direction with dedicated pedestrian walkways on both sides.
History
The current bridge opened in 2001 and is the third crossing at this location, replacing earlier versions from 1923 and 1961. Each generation of the bridge has served as a vital link between the two states.
Culture
The bridge name honors William Monroe Boyd, a local politician who advocated for connecting Mecklenburg County with York County through this crossing point.
Practical
The bridge carries daily traffic between SC 49 and NC 49 as a main transportation route for the region. Pedestrians can safely cross using the dedicated sidewalks on both sides of the roadway.
Did you know?
A surprising geographic quirk is that South Carolina occupies the northern end of the bridge while North Carolina sits at the southern end, opposite to what the state names suggest. This reversal makes the crossing a memorable detail for anyone paying attention to compass directions.
