#4511 - $4.95 New River Gorge Bridge

One of the nation’s star attractions, the New River Gorge Bridge was built as a mean of spurring economic growth in the Appalachian Mountains. Travel through the New River Gorge area involved a harrowing 45-minute drive along winding mountain roads, discouraging interstate traffic and business growth. The completion of the steel-arch bridge reduced travel time through the region to less than a minute, and the bridge itself has since become a popular tourist attraction.
