Last link on Blue Ridge Parkway bridge

 

Motorists zoom under it all day on I-26 between Asheville and Hendersonville NC. But this bridge is finally getting the piece lowered into place to complete it. The span will carry the Blue Ridge Parkway eventually. Of course there are still approaches to build and all the earth moving and  paving...I would say another year before cars cross it.

This is one of the favorite stretches to take along Asheville's BR Parkway...to avoid traffic, go 45 mph on a two lane road through the woods, up and down a bit, and around some curves, just like roads used to go...before interstates took most travel.

Of course you get there quicker on the interstates, but sometimes your nerves have been twanged a bit!
