The Forest and Maxine Preston Memorial pedestrian bridge was constructed from composite plastic fibers, making the 420 foot bridge the longest plastic pedestrian bridge in the world. The lightweight bridge creates a safe yet unique walking experience, and is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records.
*Directions: From Paintsville, take US 23 North for approximately 9 miles. Turn right onto Ky Route 3224. Turn right towards Route 581, and you will immediately come to a stop sign. To walk the pedestrian bridge, you may park at the old River Post Office (which is located almost directly across from the intersection). The bridge is located to the left of the post office.
