Description
The North 6th Street Bridge was built in 1911 and is the only remaining steel truss bridge from that era in Wilmington. It was built to replace the original deteriorating wooden structure spanning the railroad tracks. In 2007 the bridge was renamed in memory of Mr. Harry Forden, a local community activist who strived to revive North 4th Street after the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad left Wilmington. The one-lane bridge crosses the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad Cut. It was historically considered the dividing line between the northern and southern sections of the Port City. The bridge has been used in television shows such as "One Tree Hill" and "Under The Dome".
