Bridges

[makeblessed]

 I rarely  need to drive over bridges; so not much of a problem ; if I need to I just try and stay focus and get across safely.

they make me nervous...i can handle some short ones...nothing too tall..and definitely not the longer ones...i would have have a heart attack..and there is no way i would go through the bridge tunnel under water...ever...

After hearing a few bridge failures and how bad our infrastructure is I do get a little nervous.

I enjoy going over bridges. It kind of gives me the feeling of flying as there is nothing on either side. My father ironically, an engineer who worked on bridges, was terrified of driving on bridges. He would purposely reroute daily drives in order to avoid driving over a bridge. Most of his fear came from the lack of maintenance that gets done on bridges and, at the time,  the long periods that would go between safety checks. My daughter, graduating in the top five people in her class at a one of the top three engineering colleges in the country (proud daddy), has no fear of bridges. I figure that if it is your time to go...it is your time to go. You can't live life afraid of what might happen. You can certainly minimize your exposure to certain dangers but I think that bridges are the least of one's worries.

Bridges don't bother me most of the time   the very high ones that let the tall ships through can make me kind of uncomfortable  I walked half way across the Golden Gate bridge a few years ago

When I was a child, I was afraid of bridges.  I would always close my eyes.  I think I was afraid there was no ground or road at the end and we all went into the water.

I have a slight phobia with bridges in general. Funny enough, I was watching this video on YouTube about some of the longest (and most dangerous) bridges in the world. Between the Mackinac Bridge in Michigan and the Chesapeake Bay Bridge in Maryland, I was freaking out when those bridges were highlighted.

Oh I love Bridges,,,    any kind of bridges and tunnels.    Small ones and Big ones and the longer the better .  Guess I'm a little strange  LOL    Love older ones from way back ,,,,  they are so neat looking.  It really bothers me when they demolish old bridges and build new ones.  I know it has to be done,,,,  but I think ,,,  there goes another part of history

If  am driving  on a wide  bridge with wide roads and high sides  it is not  very  long  does not bother me. But when I drive over a narrow  bridge with barely  enough  room for 2  cars and I can see  over the sides or through rails and it is very high up over  a steep canyon I tend to get a  little squirrely before I am over.  Once I am over I have to stop and get out for a few minutes to calm down.

I used to be terrified of bridges and I'd make my parents drive in the center lane if there was one. They're still not my favorite but I've grown more used to them now that I'm older.

After living in Portland, Oregon the last 50 years, bridges are just a matter of fact. They do call this Bridge City for a reason.

A little but I have very bad anxiety. Especially when driving.

[LaTashaS28]

Yes, really long high bridges...but as long as it gets me to the other end safely, then I am fine.

[darkxtsuna]

My anxiety does kick in but its not as bad as I thought each time I drive over one.

[Mizzkizz7]

As long as the bridge is sturdy and have no issues I will drive over it.
