There’s a abandoned asphalt road that still leads into Wilmington. The surrounding foliage has almost taken it over. Some parts of it can still be seen. Like where South 17 (Part of 421) merges into 74/76. Picture below. Whenever I take this route, every once in a while I’ll look to see if its still there. These snapshots are from google maps.



It was cut in half when 421 was built (or so I’m told) On the other side the road continues onward to the Cape Fear river where it ultimately stops. The USS North Carolina Memorial Road merges into it. Another picture below.
