It's hard to understand just how long this bridge is without seeing it! I've also seen posts recently on Reddit about a certain "theory" that shall not be mentioned :) that relates to this bridge. Link below to a size comparison of bridges and a great picture from Reddit! libertycruise.nyc/packages/compendium-of-us-bridges
@@GlaringDiamon The Causeway is over 23 miles uninterrupted of NOTHING but water, no land, no islands, no breaks, no tunnel, just water and more water. The longest uninterrupted section of the kong-zuhai-macau bridge over water is only 13.9 miles.
😀I cant wait to drive across this bridge listening to my old school music back in the 80's with the windows down appreciating life and the beauty it has to offer❤
I visited New Orleans last year from England and flew over Lake Ponchartrain, I seen the bridge out of the window. Next time I go back hopefully I will drive over it. Louisiana is the best!
I enjoyed this bridge video because this bridge is the definitive proof that the earth is a round ball and the water over this span of 23.8 miles is curved and if you viewed it from the water level you would not see a building that was 354 ft high for perfect weather viewing. I just loved watching the things on the shore come up into view as you got closer and they came above the water horizon. If anyone is interested there are also videos of the length taken with a telescope by soundly that show the waters curvature in amazing photos.
I live in Brazil and my dream is to visit New Orleans, love so much this atmosphere, idk how to explain, there something different there... i think it's because the swamp...
When you visit New Orleans make sure to go to Port of Calls on Esplanade Street for a great New Orleans experience. The best burger and baked potato ever. Then cross the street and walk two or three blocks for some great live music spots.
@@Matheus55032 the last weekend in April, and the first weekend in May is the world famous New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. People from all over the world come to this event. Not only jazz, but all types of music form soul to rock n roll. Look it up online for more info.
I'll panick at the start, but after a couple of minutes I'll be alright. Because I'll tell myself, it's no turning back now. The only way through it is to keep going. But if I'm the only car on the bridge I might go full panic attack lol
I don't know if this is still possible due to the light pollution, but during the mid 1960s, I would drive across at night and marvel at the distant lights popping into view as they came up from behind the earth's curvature.
@@SilkyLew no, it's just common sense. When you're in boat in the middle of the ocean and you see another boat in the horizon that's really far away it slowly comes up as you get near it, as if its rising from the sea, which is proof for earths curvature. This is all proof I need because I experienced it myself, also it just makes sense that the moon and the sun are round why would the earth not be? Sorry for my bad english
For the weirdest 2 hours of your life, visit the "Abita Springs House of Mystery". It will only cost you $3.00 per person. But the "memories" you will walk away with will be priceless.
P.S. take lots and lots of pictures. They have proof that UFOs and aliens actually really did (or do) exist! (We took a ton of pictures while there, but we are so far behind in our RUclips work that we can't even hint when all of it will eventuallly be uploaded. But, stay tuned...)
My sister and I went to New Orleans this past February. We went over that bridge multiple times just because it was fun. Well that and we kept getting lost. Lol. It was fun though.
@@EmpressLilith222 I agree. It is really a pretty decent place to visit except for all those asinine voodoo shops. But I lived there. Day in day life there is a grind.
First generation immigrant here. We drove from California to Virginia. My partners were a bit weirded out by crossing it, just found out this is the longest bridge away from water in the WORLD. that’s crazy.
I've driven across that bridge as well. Love New Orleans. Make sure you go to Port of Calls on Esplanade Street for the best burger and baked potato on the planet. BTW the atmosphere there is down home New Orleans.
We visit there annually and always cross this bridge on a motorcycle. Little did we know how quickly they shut this bridge down because of inclement weather. (And motorcycles are the first to be banned.) Last trip across, during May of this year, we just got onto the bridge when the rest of the traffic behind us was banned due to the rain.( Love crossing that bridge, though! It is super cool!)
This bridge has survived 94 hurricanes since it was built pretty sturdy and safety checks are done daily. It even has its own coast guard and police force in the case of an emergency.
There’s certainly something surreal about a bridge that extends over a seemingly endless body of water, I can see why Lucio Fulci used this as a filming location for The Beyond.
After watching this video, I have been thinking how much it cost the Government of this Great nation to build this lengthy bridge.Wow ! It seems like i wasn't in the world when I was watching the clips. So Amazing 🇺🇲
Hi J Utah, I've been a fan of your videos for a while now, and I also happen to like the band Pantera. The band's singer Phil Anselmo grew up not far from the area we can see here if I understand what he says in an interview I have just watched, and he mentioned the longest bridge in the world. So here I am again on one of your videos! Cheers from Paris.
@@plusoriginalde5727 well the hk-zh-mac way is not actually a full bridge in the strict sense, it is sectioned and not continuous, it is the combined length of that road way.
Long bridge with no shoulder for an emergency car stop. if something happens, at best, one line will be blocked and when firefighters and an ambulance arrive, the entire bridge is blocked. Imagine stuck in such a long bridge? No place for maneuver.

This is the first time I have seen a trip across the bridge. It sure is a long one. One thing I noticed is that there are very few big trucks. Is there a reason for that?
Wind over water is greater and thus makes it risky for semi truck drivers if their trailers have nothing in them. That plus there are truck drivers that do have gephyrophobia.
I don’t know who needs to hear this…but this bridge is too damn long!!! I literally dozed off TWICE and it still wasn’t over, and I don’t like bridges 🤷🏽♂️
J Utah still shots of the most beautiful scenery you’ve captured while driving with where it was taken in fine print under it and of corse don’t forget to add you’re channels name to
The last time I traveled this bridge was back in 97, I think? There were open railings on the sides, not concrete. It was like you were driving on the water.

It’s all good, they ha e turn arounds every 3 miles ....I cross it 2x per week have have had to turn around before
I have a question. When New Orleans have storms do the waves get tough and close enough for it to get on the bridge? It looks pretty low
I think they close the bridge down for any inclement weather.
Long bridge with no shoulder for an emergency car stop. if something happens, at best, one line will be blocked and when firefighters and an ambulance arrive, the entire bridge is blocked. Imagine stuck in such a long bridge? No place for maneuver.

Let's see the driving video ^^
Can you play 1440p resolution on your iPad ? Because I can see maximum 1080p resolution on my 2018 iPad.
RUclips have changed the codec of 1440p and 4K Resolutions to WebM. Earlier it used to be MP4.
Now MP4 is there only for 1080p and below.
And WebM takes less storage but requires more processing than MP4. That's why Google stopped WebM support on mobile devices altogether it seems.
No, it used to play 1440p on iPads but RUclips removed it save some money. 1440p is only available to certain Android phones now.
