MattFancy Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 http://www.travelandleisure.com/articles/worlds-scariest-bridges/1 Drivers are notoriously afraid of this bridge, as it’s subjected to frequent—and often violent—storms. And when the bad weather hits, forget about visibility: get to the middle of this five-mile-long bridge and you can barely see land. I don't agree with that. I don't think its even the worst bridge in MD. I know some of the SoMDers on here would agree that the Thomas Johnson bridge is way worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilmer17 Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I drove over it when I was 17 or so at the sky was black with lightning striking all around. Wind blowing us all over the place. Scary as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 There are always a few big incidents on the bridge a year, just like any stretch of highway. Never been on it during a storm though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grhqofb5 Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I've driven over it 100 times. Still not the most comfortable feeling in the world. The worst aspect is that you know there are nervous drivers going over at the same time, and at any point they can cross paths with the agressive drivers. My father is law is a retired cop and won't drive over that bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichmondRedskin88 Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I think the Nice Bridge(Thats the name. Its not nice) that connects VA and MD is freaking bad. If theres a crash you other get hit head on or end up flying off into the river. Not great options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DButz65 Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 http://www.travelandleisure.com/articles/worlds-scariest-bridges/1I don't agree with that. I don't think its even the worst bridge in MD.

I dont think the TJ Bridge is bad at all compared to the Bay Bridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattFancy Posted October 13, 2010 Author Share Posted October 13, 2010 I dont think the TJ Bridge is bad at all compared to the Bay Bridge You don't think so? I hate driving across the Solomons Bridge. Have you ever been underneath the bridge on a boat? You should see all the cracks lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I think the Nice Bridge(Thats the name. Its not nice) that connects VA and MD is freaking bad. If theres a crash you other get hit head on or end up flying off into the river. Not great options I'm with you on that one. The only bridge I've ever driven on in a storm was the Nice Bridge, and it was at night too, I couldn't see a thing. If it wasn't for this huge bus that was in front of me, I probably wouldn't be alive right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I_Bleed_B&G Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 The Vitim River Bridge, Russia looks scary as hell. I would never walk across that thing let alone drive over it. Also the Volgograd Bridge, Russia, how did that bridge just not break. I didn't know asphalt bended like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Spiff Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Scares the crap out of me. Drove over it last year in a heavy fog and I couldn't wait until it was over. On the way back from MD to VA I just stay in the middle lane. I've hated going over that bridge ever since I was a little kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should see all the cracks lol My grandparents live right by the river. From their back yard patio you can see the entire bridge and cars going over it. Me and my family have been under the bridge tons of times when we're out on boats or waverunners. Yeah the bridge has a lot of cracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
