It is the highest vehicular bridge in the Americas, and the second-highest in the world. The bridge is the centerpiece of Fayette County's "Bridge Day," during which the bridge is closed to vehicular traffic, and includes demonstrations of rappelling, ascending & BASE jumping, and is held every October on the third Saturday. Bungee jumping has been banned from Bridge Day since an accident in 1993. The bridge is within the New River Gorge National River and the National Park Service operates a visitor center at the northern end of the bridge with scenic overlooks and a staircase that partially descends into the gorge.
