Wil-Cox Bridge, Concrete arch footbridge in Rowan County, United States
The Wil-Cox Bridge spans 1,299 feet across the Yadkin River between Rowan and Davidson counties with seven open spandrel arch sections.
Built in 1924 for $212,000, the bridge served as a crucial crossing point for US 29 and US 70 traffic until its conversion to pedestrian use.
The bridge site marks an ancient Native American settlement area and a strategic crossing point during the American Revolution in North Carolina.
The structure now forms part of the Davidson County Greenway system, connecting visitors to the Yadkin River Park and recreational paths.
The Wil-Cox Bridge remains the longest concrete arch bridge of its type in North Carolina, featuring distinctive open spandrel construction methods.
