After Dinner Tour of High Bridge

In celebration of the 99th anniversary of the steel High Bridge, High Bridge Trail State Park invites the public to attend an evening after dinner tour of the bridge. It was on June 22, 1914 that the N&W Railway diverted traffic from the old bridge supported on 20 brick piers to a newly completed steel viaduct.
The Park's Education Specialist, Bob Flippen, will lead a walk across High Bridge while occasionally stopping to discuss the bridge construction process and how it differed from the original bridge constructed in the early 1850s. Visitors are encouraged to arrive at the River Road parking lot by 7:00 p.m. and then proceed about a mile to High Bridge where the tour will start at 7:30 p.m. Bring drinking water, your camera and binoculars to enjoy spectacular views of the countryside. 
The Park also recommends visiting the High Bridge exhibit which features images of the 1914 High Bridge construction at Virginia's Heartland Regional Visitor Center located at 121 East Third Street, only one block off of Main Street in downtown Farmville.  The Visitor Center is open 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., 360 days a year.
