Fixed using information from this page

I've heard that you can't see anything from US 11 due to commercialization. Is this true? --NE2 18:44, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

It is actually so high and abrupt a turn on Rt 11 that it has been necessary to install Fencing alongside this portion of the road.

Yes. Dating back to at least the early 1970s, a tall fence consisting of vertical wooden slats prevents motorists on US 11 from seeing anything. Of course, from atop the bridge there's not much to view, and the passage is narrow so there's no room for gawkers (who would probably obstruct traffic.) I doubt that the fence is there entirely due to commercialization. Scott Johnson 18:05, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Why Does the town of Natural Bridge, Virginia redirect here? The "natural wonder" is a place in the town. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.127.98.70 (talk) 22:38, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

I walked U.S Route 11 in September of 2008. Route 11 does not run on top of the Natural Bridge. The Natural Bridge is not visible from Route 11. A billboard and some fence blocks the view. --DwayneP (talk) 21:54, 5 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Highway 11 does run across the top of the Natural Bridge, as noted in the Fodor's writeup, so of course you can "see" it. You can't see from it. That's a different issue. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 22:18, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

my link removed
I guess I am not sure I understand why my link to my article Other Attractions in Virginia Near the Natural Bridge Area was removed & why it does not meet the guidelines. I live in Virginia, I visit Natural Bridge a few times of year and it is a wonderful area. I actually went to Natural Bridge several times before I found other attractions in the area. The article is not an ad, promotion or a way to get external links to increase my page rank it is an link to an article I wrote about other attractions that I have visited in the Natural Bridge area. It's about fun things to do besides go to the Natural Bridge. Could some body please explain to me how & why it is not relevant? Lacurcio 18:13, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Water in Natural Bridge?
Can you swim in the water beside the natural bridge? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.132.104.57 (talk) 21:24, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Sure you can, up until the point where they arrest you for it. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 21:31, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Heh, nah, I've gotten in it before. Was quite necessary, considering the weather at that point in time. — ᚹᚩᛞᛖᚾᚻᛖᛚᛗ (ᚷᛖᛋᛈᚱᛖᚳ) 01:47, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
