Bridge Day 2010

On the 22nd of October in 1977, the New River Gorge Bridge was opened to traffic. This bridge opening marked the end of the old, long commute from one side of the New River Gorge to the other. This drive used to take 45 minutes of driving on narrow roads that snaked down one side of the Gorge and up the other. The construction of the New River Gorge Bridge turned this tedious 45-minute journey into a trip of a little over a minute. Pedestrian traffic is not allowed on the surface of the New River Gorge Bridge at any time - except on Bridge Day. The Bridge is 3,030 feet long and 876 feet above the rapids of the New River. The first New River Gorge Bridge Day was held on November 8, 1980.

Bridge Day is October 16, 2010
Every year, on the 3rd Saturday in October, the northbound lanes of the New River Gorge Bridge are closed and we hold the largest single day festival in the country. The main attraction is the BASE (Building, Antennae, Span, Earth) jumpers who parachute from the 2nd highest bridge in America. NARR gives you two great ways to enjoy it - this event is not to be missed, so book early!
