๐ New River Gorge Bridge, USA ๐บ๐ธ
A giant steel arch stretching across a massive canyon ๐ฎ 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 ๐ 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 ๐ณ
A true engineering giant in the mountains
