LINVILLE, N.C. — After a walkway renovation project spanning two months, the Mile High Swinging Bridge and Linville Peak have reopened at Grandfather Mountain.
Note: The attached video originally aired on an earlier date.
The renovations were to replace stone and cement work around the bridge. The popular bridge offers a 360-degree panoramic view of the mountains from up high.
Visitors have to work a little bit to get the view -- the bridge must be accessed by first driving a two-mile scenic road up the mountain and then climbing 50 stairs (or taking an elevator to access a level walk.)
Access to the bridge is included in admission tickets to Grandfather Mountain.
