I had a girlfriend who could barely ride across the Mackinaw bridge. Its never bothered me. I like the center lanes because you drive on the metal grate and its like its not even there and you can see all the way to the water.

I agree w/ the choice of Seven-Mile Bridge as #1. I don’t like it one bit. My palms sweat.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that the Capilano Bridge in B.C. made the list. I walked across that bridge the summer before 5th grade. VERY SCARY... and I am not afraid of heights.

Yep.
Traveling through Florida in 1993, I saw that bridge on a map. I drove well out of my way just so I could cross it.
By the time I reached the summit, I couldn’t wait to get off that bloody thing. The only time I’ve been scared on a bridge in my life.

They put the Mackinac bridge on there... I have been over it several times....it’s not nearly as bad as the 1000 Islands Bridge. That gem is white knuckles all the way on a good day. Two 12 foot lanes a steep approach and a steel deck, on a snowy day in January with a 30MPH cross wind it will put the fear of god into any atheist.

The wind has blown a couple of cars over the rail of the Mackinaw bridge. Last time I was up there they had the speed limited to 30 mph.

The old span over the Cooper River on the far right is a death trap. I think the lanes are 10 feet wide.

Cooper River Bridge(The old one) Charleston SC is one scary ass bridge. Nothing else comes close...once was enough. I would go out of my way to cross on I-526 a few miles north.

I've been on the Deception Pass #8 bridge. Seriously cool to cross and to look at.

The Mackinac Bridge seriously scared the crap out of me on a family trip as a boy. I never knew what vertigo was until my dad drove over that bridge.

I remember getting white knuckles the first time I drove across the Sunshine Skyway across Tampa Bay.

Especially since the barge hit it back in the 70s.
