It's not that I am afraid of it collapsing, I am just certain that someone is going to nudge me into the river, it's so narrow. Cross with your window open. That way, you can swim out. Hubby has a seatbelt cutter he keeps in the car with him in case his belt gets jammed and he has to make a hasty exit... I still have nightmares about that bridge.

Just thinking of driving or riding across it makes me tense. I subject myself every once in a while, but avoid it if at all possible. I hate the Huey P.

You know they made them better in the olden days. I think they should leave it alone, because you know they will just mess it up. The shaking must happen so it doesn't collaspe. An enigneer told me that. Also, if it did collaspe (I hate to break it to you), you won't survive anything. You will pass out before you hit the river. This is why I drive about 60 mph on the bridge. I am trying to beat the fall, if it does collaspe. Happy driving. I think of it this way: That bridge has been standing since the late 30’s or 40’s, okay, a really long time.
