Dan Cameron Bridge

Dan Cameron Bridge is a highway bridge in New Hanover County that crosses the Northeast Cape Fear River. It was built with four lanes and a box girder structure to handle traffic on Interstate 140.

The bridge opened in 2005 under the North Carolina Department of Transportation and was named after Dan Cameron, who served as Wilmington's mayor from 1955 to 1957. It represents an important step in improving regional transportation connections.

The bridge stands as a representation of modern infrastructure development in North Carolina, connecting communities across the Northeast Cape Fear River.

The bridge provides a direct route for travelers on Interstate 140 and connects communities on both sides of the river. The crossing is straightforward and well-marked, with steady driving conditions for vehicles of all sizes.

The bridge towers about 65 feet (20 meters) above the river landscape with an impressive width of 107.6 feet (33 meters). These dimensions make it a visible landmark for travelers crossing the region.
