When I was growing up, there was a bridge near Churchill, MS that we took to get to Rodney, MS. It was dilapidated as frick. Once I refused to drive across and walked it while my dad drove. They shut it down a few months later. I'm shocked it never collapsed.

The twin span with the post Katrina temp sections was pretty gnarly

Pedestrian bridge, right?
I drove over it about 6 years ago, you crept along down the middle while people walked on the sides. I don’t know if they still are allowing that now, but it was scary as hell

I was a passenger on a bus going somewhere remote in Costa Rica. It was 2 railroad things for each side and had plywood. There was no railing. I was in a passenger bus. One wrong move and we were gone. It wasn't but probably 40 feet long but I just knew we were gonna fall off. There were also crocodiles underneath. So if I survived the fl I would have been eaten by crocodiles.

The Old Naheola Bridge on the Tombigbee near Pennington, AL. You could see stuff falling from it when driving across.

There's 2 Huey P Long bridges, correct? 1 in Jefferson, the other Baton Rouge.
For a while I was driving from the NO area to Houston for several months. One time when driving back from Houston, I took the Huey P in Baton Rouge... I literally was fighting off an anxiety attack going over that bridge. I will never ever drive over that thing the rest of my life.

Look up darbonne bay, Louisiana. There is a wooden bridge right by that map location on countable rd. It's about a 200 ft, single lane wooden bridge. If you zoom in on the map and put it to satellite, you can see the cross planks, the planks for tire tracks, and the fact that theres no rails. Found it while exploring some roads one day, very rachet looking and nerve racking to cross, especially when the water is high.

I love bridges they are incredible feats of engineering to me
Scariest I've ever personally driven on was the old Huey P in Metairie.
Lived in Charleston but the old Cooper bridge was long done for by the time I got there; the Ravenel is an amazing bridge.
Lake Charles bridge doesn't really do anything for me far as being scary
Some of these listed so far I want to drive on - Mackinac, Chesapeake with the tunnel, Millau Viaduct

I drove across it in an 18 wheeler with a 53' drop deck behind me. When I stopped on the other side at my destination all of the tires on my passenger side had rub marks on the side walls from the bridge. Crazy shite. Went up levee road to 310 on the way back.

Damn in the original version of that video the guy was blasting the GOAT radio station. RIP 96Wave. Best alternative rock to ever grace the waves.
Yeah Grace Memorial Bridge was a doozie. I grew up in Mt Pleasant and my grandmother would never take that bridge downtown.

I have a buddy that used to live in lake charles and fish under this bridge. He said occasionally it would lose a rivet. It would just fall off the bridge. He said there were at least 50 of them laying all around under the bridge.

wasn't there a pic of the lake chuck bridge taken from below that showed a hole in the concrete?

I was in the band at Rummel and preseason games we played a lot of Lafourche Parish teams. Crazy Bother Harris was always one of the band's bus drivers. Dude would scrape the side rails of the HPL with the tires. We would scream, bother get over, get over, the dude literally stands up while driving in the middle of the bridge turns around and screams at us to shut the frick up...
We all sat down and shut up.

Helena Arkansas bridge is pretty sketchy. Had to stop on it one time in a tractor. DOT was doing some maintenance or something. Could feel it rocking in the wind.
