      I had to drive on this bridge when I was 18 at night in the pouring rain. I was praying to God and freaking out. I have a huge fear of high bridges and then later read about the collapse of the older bridge. What happened was what I feared as a child because I was afraid a bridge would collapse and I would go in the water and had nightmares with this scenario.

    As I'm watching this I'm trying to imagine it's 7am the morning of May 9, 1980, just prior to the bridge collapse, driving in a severe storm. I hope they shut that bridge down in case of severe storms.

    I am terrified of this bridge and in 97, back when I was stripping, I had to drive over it by myself, to and from work, 4 nights a week, I would get off work at 3am, it's scarier when noone else is on it, the money was good tho and there was no other way to get to that club!

    Why are all of these bridge crossing videos always made by people driving slower in the right lane? You had 18 wheelers in the left lane passing you. I also hate bridges and always try to drive as far inside as I can, especially on a single span. At least this one has a really wide shoulder over the whole length.

    I'll always admire the construction of a bridge of this scale, but my god it looks horrible to drive on. Not in terms of sketchiness or anything, but it's just so boring, like most of Floridas roads. If I had to do this on a daily commute I think I would last about a week before I start contemplating jumping off the edge.
