I ain't skeered of any bridge, but I remember seeing footage of this bridge and the Tacoma Bridge failures when I was a wee lad.

I didn't like the bridge I crossed on the jersey border into New York i believe. The sign that said crosswind advisory had me puckered. It didn't help that I had a cover on the bed of my truck. I swore I felt my tires wanting to lift off of the ground.

I feel like I'm gonna black out and go flying over the bridge--Vincent Thomas Bridge in L.A., but mostly GGB, I see myself flying up in the sky toward Alcatraz, then me and car hit the water at 150 m.p.h., and I end up liquified like in a blender.

There's a Bridge going to Southside right outside of Gadsden,AL.It's a One-Lane Bridge now and seems narrow for that.
It used to be a 2-Lane Bridge.When I had my Learners Permit,15,it scared the crap out of me to go across with traffic coming at me.

I was literally so afraid of heights/bridges, that I made it into my 30's successfully avoiding driving over one. I still don't like it, and there are some that I won't take on now. Don't even ask me to drive in the mountains.

First day on the open road with the drivers ed instructor. Directed me to drive over the old Mississippi River Bridge in BR. Terrifying

Dude, I was in guatemala in a van full of people at night with the driver hauling arse around shitty mountain roads, no lighting, no guardrails, no markings, only dim van headlights. Lots of brake slamming and accelerating. I thought for sure we were gonna be rolling hundreds of feet to our death

Do the Golden Gate Bridge--just once. Spend some time looking at the bridge before you go over—think about all the people who have jumped to their deaths from the South Tower. Sure is a long, lonely way to the bottom.
Have someone else drive and fasten your seat belt tight. Feel the terror, welcome the terror, embrace the terror.
It's actually pretty cool.

I've had actually had nightmares about steep bridges.

Yeah...every high rise bridge I've ever driven across has scared me.

Years ago a young man on the way to LSU during a snow storm almost "fall out of a bridge"

The Chesapeake Bay Bridge in Maryland is one of the most terrifying bridges you can cross IMO. Not because of the height of it, but because of its narrowness. There's a stop on each end of the bridge where people pay drivers to drive them across it.
I came here to mention this bridge. I've driven across it several times and don't have a problem with it but there apparently are people who will drive you across for a fee.
So I'll post this one instead. The distance you have to fall is about 885 feet.

I was crossing the Crescent City Connection one day headed to the West Bank. I was in the left lane moving a little faster than most of the other traffic when I noticed an old pickup coming up behind me and catching up pretty quick. I moved over to give him room. As he passed I saw that he was towing a Cadillac - WITH A CHAIN! The guy steering the Cadillac had a look of sheer terror on his face as I probably did also. I couldn't wait to get off that bridge and away from those two idiots.
Hell yeah

Thew old Huey Long bridge and the original Howard Franklin bridge over Tampa bay were equally terrifying.

Not good with bridges.

I was coming here to post the same thing. I have never been scared to cross a bridge before in my life but every now and then I'll have really frightening dreams about bridges. Except they aren't exactly bridges in my dream. They usually are just one-lane roads with no shoulder or guardrails that are extremely high, narrow, and steep.

The Mackinac Bridge in Michigan is very high and steep to allow for Great Lakes shipping. They have people (I think state employees) who are available to drive people across who don't think they can handle it.
