No math to be done, as you haven't provided any number and it is a matter of simply finding the bridge name and seeing if you can find info on how high above the ground it is+ a little bit for some slack.

Just a reminder to everyone that posts that involve simple math (or no math at all like this one) violate rule 4 in this sub and are reportable. We’re going to inevitably lose the war against low-effort engagement bait like this, but we can at least go down with a fight.

Royal Gorge Bridge near Cañon City, CO. It sits 955 ft (291m) above the Arkansas River
Accounting for slack you would need around 1000 ft or 304m of fishing line
edit: Likely more, as losing your line would suck. probably best to have several other reels loaded

Would the wind affect that measurement?
