    I just went through there last week and didn't see any weight restrictions. The bridge is down to one lane both ways, however traffic shouldn't be much of an issue down that way.

    Interestingly, I updated the map this morning and it is no longer routing me around that area. In any case, based on the replies I'm not sure why it ever was. Thanks!

    Make sure you watch your speed going through there, Brother. That stretch is notorious for being patrolled to the limit and it's easy to be going 55 when the speed limit suddenly drops to 45. Not questioning your professionalism or ability at all, just giving you a head's up. Not sure where you're going or where your coming from, but it's also one hell of a beautiful ride.

    i plug my phone in to computer and delete the program after a play store app uninstall..then start over with a fresh app and map install. Last time there was an update I had a couple of glitches from just a flat update.

    The New River Gorge Bridge, at 876 ft above the river, is the third highest bridge in the US. It's an awesome drive up 19, just hope you're not afraid of heights. I've been thru there many times in a truck and I've never seen any restrictions on weight.

    Yea, little crossroads of Somersville or something like that, a notorious money making speed trap on 19. But that is one impressive bridge.
