Lake Lure Flowering Bridge to bloom again with FEMA funding

By Sam Cohen | LOCAL NEWS, COMMUNITY, Sam Cohen

Hurricane Helene wiped out the Lake Lure Flowering Bridge in September 2024. Now, it’s set to be rebuilt.

Thanks to the help of Spokes of Hope, a nonprofit organization, and a team of 40 volunteers, though, some of the gardens were salvaged after debris was cleared from the area. Those volunteers have been working tirelessly to help restore the Lake Lure Flowering Bridge to its former glory, and now they’ll be able to do just that with the assistance of FEMA.
