Scariest Bridge you (or almost) ever drove on.

[Pstmstr]

Royal Gorge on my motorcycle and also some steel grated one somewhere in Washington state. I was a fairly new rider when I rode across the Royal Gorge and was scared to death.

The bridges never worry me much but tunnels under water scare the hell outta me. Mobile always give me goosebumps.

The tunnel in DelMarVa bridge is a hard pass LOL

What about Boston and New York then?

Also, Royal Gorge bridge for me as well.

I also rode the gondolas. Scarier than the bridge, actually, cause it was windy.

Nice pictures. I've been on and across the Royal Gorge multiple times, but mostly with walking across. That's the way it should be done...

...then one can feel the board you are standing on move as vehicles drive across it. I was a youngster when I was first on it, but I've been on it several times since in the last 6 years. For about 20 months, we lived at an RV park between Canon City and Colorado Springs. Went to the Royal Gorge a fair bit even then.

Is the little restaurant/gift shop still there at the first tunnel from the Virginia side?

No, they got rid of it several years ago. I was sad to see it go. They used to give you a coupon for a free Coke when you paid the toll. I used to wonder how travelers felt traveling south on the Delmarva Peninsula from Jersey and N.Y. The price of the toll was $12.00 one-way.

Hands down the old Huey P. Long bridge.

Is that the old one on 165/167 in Alexandria?

Those cattle guards on the roads into parks scared me on a bike too.

I've crossed the Ponchatrain Causeway bridge and it never bothered me really; the Coronado bridge in San Diego was kinda weird if you crossed it while they were moving the center barricades to move the 3/2 lane split the opposite way for evening vs morning traffic; the Calcasieu River bridge in Lake Charles used to get me, pretty good arch, and see thru to boot; but the scariest bridge moments for me had to be a bridge in Honduras that looked like the biggest LUMBER they used was a 2x12, and I'm crossing in a 5 ton Army truck - we had to wait on each truck to get across before next one started on...and number 2 was probably a "delayed reaction" - I had crossed the AR River bridge by Webbers Falls (in a semi!) not long before the barge hit it in 2002 when I was OTR driving, years before I lived in OK...not a good feeling!

Nope. I'll need to look it up. It was west of the NO airport and took you over the Mississippi. I believe the bridge was built around 1930. Somewhere around Westwego.

I never cared much for the underwater tunnels either...been through the ones in Mobile and Baltimore, always eerie to me

Bridge City area...I can't recall if I've been across it, but a good chance I have
