FAYETTE COUNTY, WV (LOOTPRESS) – For the first time in two years, West Virginia’s largest single-day festival is officially getting started. The New River Gorge Bridge closed to traffic at 7 AM this morning and will not reopen until 5 PM.
Vendors arrived to set up at 5:30 AM this morning and Bridge Day, along with ASWV’s Bridge Day 5K, will officially begin at 9 AM.
Bridge Day shuttles will start transporting visitors to the Bridge at 8:30 AM from the following locations:
• Midland Trail High School
• Lighthouse Worship Center
• Fayetteville PK8
• Fayette County Courthouse
• Fayetteville Wal-Mart
• Oak Hill Kroger
Shuttles are $3 per person to ride and only cash is accepted at the shuttle lots.
Into The Gorge bus rides begin at 9 AM and tickets must have been purchased ahead of Bridge Day. The Into The Gorge bus rides will take guests down to the New River via Fayette Station Road, the last run will be at 1:30 PM.
Fayette Station Road will be closed to general vehicle traffic during the event, but pedestrians and bicyclists are welcome to walk the road but must yield to motor vehicles. Keep in mind, it is over four miles one way.
The long-awaited Bridge Day Chili Cookoff will take place in Fayetteville at 2 PM today.
Since the New River Gorge Bridge will be closed for most of the day, southbound traffic will exit onto Route 60, through Ansted, onto WV Route 16, and back onto Route 19 below the bridge. Northbound traffic will detour on Route 16 just before the bridge and travel through Ansted and onto Route 60.
If you do not plan on attending Bridge Day, but will be driving in the area, give yourself plenty of extra time as traffic will be heavy most of the day.
Most importantly, be safe and have fun at Bridge Day!
