Lake Lure Flowering Bridge will be removed after Helene damage made it ‘beyond repair’

Town records show the bridge was built for cars in 1925 over the Broad River, and was acquired by the town in 2010 after the completion of a bridge on the adjacent Memorial Highway. The nonprofit Friends Lake Lure Flowering Bridge took over its operation in 2011. The first plants were planted in 2013, and the grand opening was held that October.
