Wil-Cox Bridge, Concrete arch footbridge in Rowan County, United States
The Wil-Cox Bridge is a concrete arch structure that spans across the Yadkin River between Rowan and Davidson counties. The bridge features seven open spandrel arch sections and now serves as a pedestrian pathway.
The structure was built in 1924 and originally served as a major crossing for vehicle traffic on US 29 and US 70. It was later converted to pedestrian use when it no longer functioned as a primary road crossing.
The bridge site marks an ancient Native American settlement area and a strategic crossing point during the American Revolution in North Carolina.
The location is now part of the Davidson County Greenway system and links visitors to the Yadkin River Park and walking paths. Plan to spend time walking and exploring the surrounding green spaces nearby.
The structure holds the distinction of being the longest concrete arch bridge of its type in North Carolina with its characteristic open spandrel design. This particular construction method makes it a notable example of engineering from the 1920s era.
