世界之旅:新河峡大桥,西弗吉尼亚州
【英文原文】
New River Bridge, West Virginia, 1999
"Spanning a West Virginia canyon 3,000 feet [914 meters] wide, the New River Gorge Bridge transformed 44,000 tons of steel and concrete into structural art as graceful as the morning mists drifting below it. Opened in 1977, it replaced an 1889 trestle—and 40 white-knuckled minutes on one-lane switchbacks—with 40 seconds on cruise control."
—From “New River’s Deep Soul,” June 1999, National Geographic magazine
【中文翻译】
新河谷大桥横跨西佛吉尼亚一个3000英尺(914米)宽的峡谷,耗用44000吨钢铁和混凝土,铸就了一个优雅如桥下缥缈晨雾的建筑艺术。该桥于1977年开通,它以40秒的巡航控制取代了1889年需用时40分钟的之字形单车道高架桥。
