New River Gorge Bridge, West Virginia
The New River Gorge Bridge is located on U. S. Route 19, just north of Fayetteville, WV. I travelled for almost 2 hours enduring a snowstorm on Christmas day, 2020 to get to the Bridge. The bridge was the longest steel span in the western hemisphere and the third highest in the United States. It spans across one of North America's oldest river. It was completed on October 22, 1977. The bridge reduced a 40-minute drive down narrow mountain roads to less than three minutes!
It is one of the most photographed places and scenes in West Virginia. The bridge was designed by Michael Baker Company, and the construction was performed by the American Bridge Division of U.S. Steel
