This pin-connected, 8-panel Camelback Pratt through-truss structure once carried highway traffic over the Deep River, at the Chatham-Moore County line. The highway has been re-routed, and this bridge is now open to pedestrian traffic, only. It is several hundred feet in length.
The GPS coordinates are for the parking area on the north side of the bridge. To reach from US-421 at the Deep River, go southeast and take a left onto Cumnock Road. Follow the road to the county line. As you cross the river on the new bridge, look to your left for a view of the truss bridge.
