Image title | The New River Gorge Bridge, a steel arch bridge 3,030 feet long over the New River Gorge near Fayetteville in Fayette County, West Virginia. With an arch 1,700 feet long, the New River Gorge Bridge was for many years the world's longest single-span arch bridge; as of 2015, it was fourth-longest. When the bridge was completed in 1977, a travel challenge was solved. The bridge reduced a 40-minute drive down narrow mountain roads and across one of North America's oldest rivers to less than a minute. Once a year, the National Park Service closes the span, one of the most photographed places in West Virginia, to vehicular traffic for a Bridge Day festival that includes hundreds of BASE jumps from the bridge. (BASE, which stands for Building, Antenna, Span, and Earth, stands for leaps from any of these objects with parachutes designed specifically for rapid deployment.) |
