Old Bridge Down New One Up | Raleigh News
Description
North Carolina’s aging Davis Mill Road bridge over Aycock Swamp is officially shut down, with demolition looming as part of a $1.2 million upgrade to replace it with a safer, modern structure. Rated “poor” — meaning it’s still safe to drive on — the bridge has been in use for over 50 years, while an even older bridge just a mile away (built in 1953) also carries a “poor” rating and a lower weight limit. Drivers are being rerouted via Black Creek and Turner Swamp roads, with longer commutes expected during construction. This infrastructure update aims to keep Wayne County’s roads reliable and secure for all.
