Abstract:

The 37-foot wide, one-car Knobbs Creek Bridge was closed--rather, the drawbridge was permanently opened to allow boat traffic. A new road from another direction now connects travelers to the Elizabeth City area. Bridge tender Sam Powell's family had operated the drawbridge since its construction in 1904.
