The Fred Hartman Bridge on 146 at or just south of Baytown. It doesn't bother me too much because its 3 lanes in both directions & I can stay in the middle lane.
I go across the one on Tollway 8 on the east side when I'm running down to Freeport. It don't bother me too much.
Fear Of Height, and going over tall bridges???

The only one that kinda makes me think is the Skyway in St Pete....but mostly because as I understand I was on of the last vehicles over it South bound that foggy am
Traffic wasn’t as heavy then....which thankfully explains that only 3 vehicles were on the main span when it happened...2 went off one had one wheel over the edge but they got out
I crossed around 645 or so...just bout sunrise....but rainy foggy miserable morning
By the time I got to Publix in Bradenton bout 730.....everyone was talking bout itRideandrepair and Grumppy Thank this. -
The secret to that one is tunnel vision, eyes on the prize at all times. That makes the eastbound side easy. The westbound span is a tougher animal though because you’re going downhill AND with a curve to the right.The Railsplitter, Rideandrepair, Grumppy and 1 other person Thank this. -

There's a toll bridge just outside of Antioch, CA.. A nice foggy day and you will literally drive straight into the clouds

North bound I-5 Portland Oregon over the river always got me a little when I was in that left lane looking down. The retaining wall is shorter than my steer tire. Seemed like a good pothole could send you over the side. I learned to look straight ahead after a while.The Railsplitter, Rideandrepair, Brettj3876 and 3 others Thank this. -
The best part is when you stop or slow enough and you feel the bridge shaking.
