While this bridge serves as an entrance for the Greenway, it also serves as a memorial to the men from Pitt County who served during the World War and in memory of those who gave their lives for their country.
Constructed in 1927, this 200 ft. span bridge once served as a crossing over the Tar River and was located on Greene Street. In 2002, it was disassembled into three sections and moved to the Town Commons Park. Re-assembly of the bridge was completed in 2005. This is a Parker Truss Bridge. Only a few existed in North Carolina when it was re-assembled. Funds for this project were provided by the City of Greenville and an Enhancement Grant received through the North Carolina Department of Transportation. The bridge now serves as an entranceway to the South Tar River Greenway.
Please be safe when retrieving and place back as found. No need to go below. Happy smileys!
Congrats to Zooview for the FTF!
