More than a century after five railroad bridges were built in 1906 to carry coal through West Virginia’s New River Gorge, an $11.8 million project is now restoring them for public use. The work will repair the historic Rend Trail, replace ageing wooden bridge structures, improve safety and accessibility, and reconnect the 3.2-mile trail with nearby community routes. The National Park Service expects the project to take about 16 months, with the full trail expected to reopen next fall.source https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/us/in-1906-five-railroad-bridges-carried-coal-through-west-virginias-new-river-gorge-120-years-later-an-11-8-million-project-is-rebuilding-them-for-hikers/articleshow/133712036.cms
