New River Bridge was completed in 1977. It is the longest single arch bridge in the world. At 876 feet above the river it is America's 2nd highest bridge. Once a year, the third week of October, the bridge is closed for six hours. Extreme sport fanatics gather in Fayetteville. Hundreds of BASE jumpers, rappel teams and highline riders leap, jump and descend from the bridge while 200,00 spectators watch. Yikes!! Bruce and I hiked and drove around this park and saw beautiful views of this bridge.
It looks VERY steep!!!
