I got caught on this bridge about a two months ago on my way driving from GA to New York... smh I was not ready and prayed the entire way over it! I would never get on it again and if I had known it was built like that and that long, I would not have drove over it! Great video though!
I got re-routed over this bridge a few months ago coming home from a family vacation. Didn't even see it coming and had no idea this bridge existed. I started driving up it, and I broke out in sweat... White-knuckled through it. Pretty intense if you've never done it before. A couple of cargo ships seemed to be heading straight for it. (PS- I'm an active certified driving instructor for 10 years)
I've went over that bridge many times. One early morning it was so foggy I could hardly see in front of me. Honestly, so foggy I couldn't even see the water. And...Adeles - Rolling In The Deep was playing on my radio. I will never, ever forget it.
Piss off. I've been over it once and that is enough for me. This augments my fear of heights. I had to go to Cambridge for my cousin's wedding and had to go over it and I was shitting myself the entire way over.
I used to cross this thing all the time heading from my home in Saint Mary's County to all points past Baltimore (Wilmington, Philadelphia, NYC, Boston). The speed limit might say 40, but I would do 80 trying to get the f*ck off that thing as quickly as possible! I HATED this bridge! It looks and feels like it's gonna collapse at any second. I'd rather take my chances in an underwater tunnel than on this thing.
Enjoyed watching this video because so many people don't like that bridge. You were so funny when you said that your dog thought it was too much water!!! LOL
When I was a kid, we vacationed in DC, my uncle always drove us across this bridge and the tunnel, would stop and eat crabs othe other side, it was beautifully scary
Crossed this bridge many times when we lived in Maryland (late 80's) going to and from the Eastern Shore. It scared me the first time, but I got use to it later on and then no problem. Now however, I don't think I could do it. Had a bad scare years ago and it took a lot out of me. I have never been a bridge fan and that incident just made it worse. If I were there now, I'd drive up to Delaware and go down that way rather than drive across the bridge......
It looks so tame on video. It's much higher than it looks. Add in that you have no shoulder and the wall inches from you while maniacs swerve in and out of lanes, and it makes for a pretty intense drive
I’ve watched many of these videos and although I’ve never been over this bridge, can someone tell me EXACTLY what terrifies the majority of drivers ? I can see the ocean on both sides of the bridge. Is it the lack of height of the guard rails? Or the sea water below? I’m s big chicken myself, but I want to know what the most anxiety riddled feature is ? Truly am serious ….Thanks !
When it was just one bridge, 2 lane traffic only, the center span [the very tallest section] had steel expansion joints. When it rained, in a 4 wheeler , it could be 'interesting'. But a Motorcycle, you were very very careful. That section would dumb you quick.
I love your talking and describing this first hand hahahaha I am screaming over here for you!!! Shoot....I am scared looking, I love bridges... but you in a Rig Lawd have mercsayyyyy,
A little snug. If the wind kicks up do they stop tractors from going over ? Also what's the procedure if there is major wind ? Flashers and ride the middle ?
Could never cross this bridge. My sister and her friends died on this bridge. They went over into the water 1997. I hate even looking at this bridge. Makes me very very sad!
Crossed it today with a load of sheet rock no lie 😂😂😂I was more scared this load than when I crossed it with steel 😂😂😂that’s bc last time with steel the right lane was closed and we all had to take that left lane. But thiiiiiis time with that sheet rock 🪨 I had to drive in that right lane my fukin heart ❤️ stopped and started at least twice I was dam near in the left and right lane Shìt so high up in the air I thought I smoked some weed before I drove over it😂😂😂😂😂I woke my wife up and she had a attitude but she ain’t even see how high we was bc her contracts wasn’t in😂😂😂I was mad I’m like this that bridge I was telling you about… and why tf is this bridge so dam skinny let’s talk about it 😂😂😂this my 4th month as a CDL driver and so far this was one of the worst bridges but man it’s one bridge in Ohio that real life fuked my head up 😂😂I saw how high it was from a bridge I was on and got scared for the drivers on it 😂😂😂😂😂said not ever in my life 😂😂😂will I be on that one I will bunny hop this dam truck to the stop if i got too
we almost died on that bridge .. some truck was passing another truck and headon with us in our lane.. luckily we came to a screeching stop in time.. back in the 80s it was just a 2 lane to and from... is there another one with a tunnel? i didnt see the tunnel part in your video here.
I broke down on that bridge in my 18 wheeler going southbound,didn't quite make it to the top so I could coast down,had to get out and put my triangles outside as hell liked to I'm sorry to say damn near shit myself,lol,!!sat there about 10 min police came stayed behind me till wrecker got there total time about 1 hr that was in 1980!!
This bridge is nothing compare to the bridge that's in Rappahannock. No lie, its only two way traffic with should. Just a guard rail. There are stories to when people would lose their side view mirrors by clip another vehicle mirror going in the opposite direction. Oh and it is extremely high.
You mean the Norris bridge between Topping and Whitestone. It's 65 years old, and at a bit over 2 miles, the longest simple river crossing in the state.
I have been on that one and I have to admit, that was by far the worst one I have ever been on. The railings are really low and as you said it's only two lanes. The day I went on that one there was a construction project so we had to sit on there for like 10 minutes. It was awful. Never again!!!
You should drive across I75 over the Mackinac Bridge in Michigan that goes over Lake Michigan and Lake Huron at least once in your life. Beautiful bridge but kinda scary.
Lol what a funny comment the need to put some kind of barrier on this damm bridge it pisses me off how dangerous this thing is back in 2018 they had me cross this bridge about to side swipe every truck on the left of me it was a two way at the time during the construction of the bridge going west bound I've crossed this bridge multiple times but I'm never traveling in one lane as long as there are two lanes available
My gpa took his motorhome in the 1980's up the side of a mountain near Asheville NC. They said he would not be able to get it up there due to the overhang on one side and the drop off on the other. He made it, but my grandmother got out and walked up the last ¹/² mile. She had the organ player take her bavk down to wait on him to bring it back to the local diner and pick her up. She was mad as a hornet grandpa learned that day maybe listening to others was smarter when it came to tiny back roads and motorhomes.
You should see the rails in the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel which is 23 miles long and has two underwater tunnels. I did a video on it also, those side rails are even lower
@@stewslogisticsllc9460 I just went across it eastbound in my rig last week. I ain’t give a fuck I was using that middle lane. Fuck a ticket I’d take that before driving in the right lane where the only thing between me and a watery grave is a raggedy ass wall. This bridge looks like some mess they just threw together and said fuck it.
Are people scared of THIS bridge? This a small bridge bruh lol. As a truck driver you might as well get comfortable because you cross it numerous times lol.
@@stewslogisticsllc9460 they actually pay people to drive those that fear this bridge across this bridge. It’s like $20 per trip. And that’s all they do all day is get paid to cross people in their own cars lol.
Do your research on the bridge, it links Eastern MD and Western MD together. Don’t get it confused with the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel which is in VA
Bone up on your geography, Chesapeake Bay is in both states, and there is 2 bridges that cross over the Cheasapeake Bay. Bay/Bridge Tunnel from Norfolk Va, to the Eastern Shore. [which by the way, the 'Eastern Shore' at one time was only referred to the 2 lower counties of the 'shore'-Accomac and North Hampton]. The other bridge is the Cheasapeake Bay Bridge. Oh I lived there and was born on 'Delmarva' which is what people call it now. Remember though Eastern Shore was in the pass the old name for those 2 Virginia counties.
@@stewslogisticsllc9460 u filmed this almost a year back ive watched this many times you was a pro it seemed easy for you like candy canes in other footage tho people go inside a tunnel are there 2 parts to this bridge ?

Lol, it wasn’t that bad...
Kudos to all the truckers!

If the wind kicks up do they stop tractors from going over ?
