I have driven over this bridge several times and it is VERY scary. In fact it is the only bridge I am scared to cross. In one direction, the side barriers are metal bars that you can see through. There is a gap at the edge of the pavement and you can see the water far below. The bridge is VERY HIGH. As you approach it you're at an angle and you can see how high you are going to be and my thoughts are, "I'm going up THERE??" It is also a very long bridge. What is the WORST is that sometimes if there is really heavy traffic, they will allow two way traffic on one of the spans to help alleviate the heavy traffic. You are trapped on that bridge - you must keep going. There are no shoulders. If someone going the other direction ever hit you, you would have no place to go. I try to avoid it.

@@guymerritt4860 I am the opposite; as an autistic woman who could bore for Team GB (I'm British) about them, I have no fear of and am completely, irrevocably OBSESSED with long-span bridges. In short, I'm addicted to crossing them! I live approx. 1 hour 40 mins from the Humber Bridge, which connects the counties of East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire and has a high water clearance of 30 metres. Tower to tower, it's 1410 metres long. Love it. My 'Happy Place'. Would I cross the Chesapeake Bay Bridge? Yes, definitely! AND, what's this epic decadence of crossing one suspension bridge one way over the bay and another in the other direction? Jeez... Excuse me while I faint... I'm too excited. ** Faints **

Years ago some woman driving a tiny car - called a "Yugo" (they don't even make 'em anymore) got blown off that bridge in a high wind. I've driven across it numerous times but as I've gotten older I've developed a serious bridge phobia. I couldn't even drive across the thing, now. To be honest this bridge looks worse because the lanes are really narrow. I wouldn't cross either one...as a passenger or as a driver.

I think I sailed under this bridge last September. I was on a schooner participating in the Great Chesapeake Bay Schooner Race. Personally, the scariest roads are the tunnels under Norfolk. It was long ago but I remember thinking that all that water is above me so just stay calm and stay in your lane.

@Paul_Wetor - I think you might be referring to the "Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel", near Hampton Roads, Virginia. That is the one that has a combination bridge and tunnel, and it's span is almost 20 MILES! Oh, it is also a chest-tightening experience to cross...especially if you're on a motorcycle, 🙂. I crossed it once on a motorcycle...quite an event!! The bridge shown here is also "fun" to cross on a motorbike but I've found it easier (done it a few times to get to great riding and camping locations in MD) - you just have to be careful with the grates if you're on a bike.

I never had a fear of bridges until I was on the new bridge & was gazing into the bay & saw what was left of the old one. My eyes were following it because it ran parallel when it just ended! Emptiness & all I could picture was the Buick hanging off the edge. I'd already known about the accident because I knew someone in the Merchant Marines who worked it. Anyway, I've been a little timid about bridges ever sense.

The bridge is 40 miles down the Chesapeake Bay from Baltimore. Oh and for some reason if there's a accident or a lot a traffic on the bridge & you are on the highest part, well you will feel it swinging back and fourth.

@@radhachetan742 correct. Either photo generated, or EZ pass. Either way it’s one of the pricier tolls in Maryland.

Does not look very scary to me…here in Sydney we have a lot scarier bridges take “The Gladesville Bridge” as an example the road sits on top of a concrete arch crossing the parramatta river going into the suburbs of Canada Bay and Hunters Hill Sydney Australia check it out on Wikipedia there is a photo of it…this is not a Toll Bridge: Sydney Australia:

To regenerate the bridge put guard rails on the bridge higher guard rails. Okay safety comes first the Maryland Department of Transportation MD Dot plus the US Department of Transportation the Chesapeake Bay Bridge does formerly the Maryland Turnpike years ago now we need upgrade the Chesapeake Bay Bridge ASAP

I drove over that bridge in Sept. 2023. If you don't like bridges, especially one over water, you definitely will not like this bridge My other thought is...how are you moving the camera while you're driving? Why is the camera in your hand while you're driving? Put the phone in your phone holder on your dash and leave it there to protect other people's lives, if not your own.

There is this thing called power steering, maybe you caught word of it. You can actually drive with one finger.

Those lanes are directional. Many times they will have two of those lanes only going one direction, and at least one in the opposite direction. The video does not do the bridge justice. It moves and rattles while on the bridge, the lanes are barely a car width. There is literally no breakdown lane, and the there is grating on the higher span sections.
