Notes: Purchase; Carol M. Highsmith Photography, Inc.; 2015; (DLC/PP-2015:055).; Credit line: West Virginia Collection within the Carol M. Highsmith Archive, Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division.; Forms part of: West Virginia Collection within the Carol M. Highsmith Archive.; Title, date and keywords based on information provided by the photographer.; 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. 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.
