Summary[edit]

Description
English: The "New River Gorge Bridge" spanning the New River Gorge near the town of Fayetteville, West Virginia, USA. At the time of opening, it was considered the highest bridge East of the Mississippi River (876')(267m) and one of the longest spans in the world. During a weekend in October, the Northbound lane is closed to vehicular traffic and pedestrians can assimilate on the bridge for the day's festivities known as "Bridgeday" (http://www.bridgeday.info/videogallery.php). During this day "BASE" jumpers from all over the world arrive to jump from the bridge which is 876 feet (267m) above the New River (http://maps.live.com/#JndoZXJlMT1uZXcrcml2ZXIrZ29yZ2UrYnJpZGdlJTJjK2ZheWV0dGV2aWxsZSUyYyt3diUyYyt1c2EmYmI9MzguNjY2OTE1Mjc1MTA0MyU3ZS04MC42MDMyMTMzMTAyNDE3JTdlMzguNjUyNjcyOTg5NTMwNyU3ZS04MC42MzQyNDExMDQxMjY= ) from Local.live.com.
