Building: Deep River Camelback Truss Bridge, Bridge No. 155 (Lee County, North Carolina)
- Built:
- Community:
- Lee County
- State:
- North Carolina
- Provenance note:
- The bridge was manufactured by the Cambria Works of Johnstown, P.A.
- Architectural note:
- This 160-foot camelback truss bridge, exhibiting metallic geometry, spans the Deep River.
- Historical note:
- In 1932, this bridge was moved to its current location from Lillington, where it spanned Neals Creek. When, in 1990, a new concrete bridge was constructed to replace this one, local groups saved the bridge for pedestrian use in a riverside park. The bridge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
