My brother found some of my Dad's old photos and has been uploading them to Facebook, thought you might like to see me and my family. I was 14 1/2, my brother was 12.   Having been on a steam train, I was familiar with the brakeman job, lol  swimming (or rather, tubing) in the creek  |

Actually it is the New River Gorge bridge which is on US Route 19. At the time it was the longest span arch bridge in the world, now I think it's been downgraded to longest arch span bridge in the Northern Hemisphere. But ours was first and the WV Department of Highways was darn proud of it. I hope my brother finds some photos of when it was being constructed. Dad worked for WVDOH, he started out as a drafter then moved into Engineering Operations Section, he was a technician. My brother and I were DOH brats and knew a lot about roads. My brother has worked for DOH for probably 24 years now, and I know about 15 different ways to get anywhere in and around Charleston and can navigate by map (I can even refold a road map correctly!). Hubby introduced me to topo maps, lol. Occupational hazard, I gripe about poor/incorrect signage and sloppy road construction sites. US 19 does hit I 64/77 at about Bradley, WV which is several miles south of the bridge. I64 and I77 join in Charleston, WV and run together thru Beckley then separate a bit before Beaver, WV. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_River_Gorge_BridgeConstruction Photos www.nps.gov/media/photo/gallery.htm?pg=3530179&id=11454B8A-155D-451F-6762C96012DBF797 |

Yup, been over that bridge a hundred times heading East. Isn't that the bridge they used to close once a year and let people bungee jump?
EDIT: Answered my own question.
