Location: the Linn Cove Viaduct, Milepost 304.4 on the Blue Ridge Parkway near Boone, Linville, and Grandfather Mountain

The award-winning, quarter-mile Linn Cove Viaduct hugs the face of Grandfather Mountain and is recognized internationally as an engineering marvel. The rugged slopes of Grandfather Mountain proved a challenging task to engineers as they completed the last section of the Parkway here in 1987, 52 years after construction began. It is a masterpiece of engineering that preserves the beauty and protects the fragile and ecologically sensitive slopes of Grandfather Mountain by curving naturally with the mountain’s contours.
