I love driving bridges like that.

I could be the passenger, but never drive it.:eek Longest bridge I was ever on was the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and Tunnel.

I drove that one a few times myself. I love tunnels as well. Except for when the radio cuts out.

be sure to bring your MP 3 player..that's going to be a long ride, but it does look cool...When were driving through Illinois there is a bridge in Chicago that made me start to feel jittery...I was scared and I didn't know why...maybe I am claustrophobic?
(it is the Chicago Skyway bridge)

It's a long bride, but imo, not anything of extreme specialty. Now suspension bridges, there are things of beauty.

I've been on that one twice, it's a neat ride. It's amazing to think of the time and effort it took to build it.

I love engineering marvels like that. I don't think I have been on any of the famous "bay" bridges, but would love to.

[brieze]

Bridges scare me. I used to have these reoccurring nightmares about bridges overflowing.

 

[Siphorous]

That would be a cool bridge to drive along. :thumbup

I would love to be juz a passenger on bridge drives too. That's a pretty long distance but it looks amazing. Must have a spectacular view juz like going on cruise ships ( sort of )

Oh I remember the first time i went on that Chicago Skyway- i felt acrophobic eh :willy_nilly:

I feel the same way with bridges. I like looking at the view esp the water seems so calming. But then I get recurring nightmares falling into bridges a lot too. Given I can't swim very well, I am so afraid the car's gonna go off road into the water. L0L

I wonder what the speed limit is, thats if there is one.
