NEW RIVER GORGE

The bridge, 876 ft over the river, one day a year

The place

When it opened in 1977 this was the world's longest steel arch, and it kept the title until 2003. Burton Ervin parachuted off it in 1979, and Bridge Day began the next year: one Saturday each October, hundreds of jumpers go off the rail and around 100,000 people come to watch. The bridge is on West Virginia's state quarter.

    Bridge Day: a platform over the upstream rail, 876 ft to the river, a jumper every twenty seconds, boats in the water.
