The New River Gorge Bridge is a remarkable steel arch bridge located in Fayetteville, West Virginia. Spanning the New River Gorge, this iconic structure is a symbol of engineering excellence and a stunning piece of architecture. At a height of 876 feet above the river, it was once the world's longest single-span arch bridgeand is still one of the highest vehicular bridges in the United States. The bridge was completed in 1977 and has since become one of West Virginia's most recognizable landmarks.
Beyond its engineering marvel, the New River Gorge Bridge offers visitors breathtaking views of the surrounding Appalachian Mountains and the rugged New River Gorge below.
