📍 New River Gorge Bridge, USA 🇺🇸

📍 New River Gorge Bridge, USA 🇺🇸

A giant steel arch stretching across a massive canyon 😮 This bridge in West Virginia was once the longest steel arch bridge in the world

It opened in 1977 and stands about 267 meters above the river 🌉 Before the bridge, crossing the gorge took nearly 40 minutes, now it takes about a minute

Fun fact
every year Bridge Day turns the bridge into a legal base jumping and climbing event 😳

A true engineering giant in the mountains
