However, different bridges pose different types of adventures for those intending to cross them. Some might boast terrifying heights while others can be located over bodies of water infested with dangerous inhabitants. We have rounded up America’s 7 Most Creepiest Bridges that we believe will make you squirm. Cross if you dare!

1 – Royal Gorge Bridge, Colorado

The mind blowing Royal Gorge Bridge is located over the Arkansas River. Its height meanwhile is three times that of the Statue of Liberty.

2 – The Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel, Virginia

The Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel will take you on periodic dips into the water as you make your way from Virginia’s Rural Eastern Coast to the West of the state. Its tunnel is two mile long and divides the 23 mile long trestle bridge. The bay bridge meanwhile reaches a height of about 200 feet in certain parts.

3 – Mackinac Bridge, Michigan

Michigan’s lower peninsula is connected to the upper one by the five mile Mackinac suspension bridge. This monster at certain times also has to bear the brunt of gale force winds that can reach up to 79 miles per hour. So, if you feel too scared to drive your way over the bridge, you can ask the bridge authorities to help you cross it. Thankfully, there have been only a couple of unfortunate incidents when a car fell of the bridge owing to strong winds.

4 – Golden Gate Bridge, California

Situated in San Francisco, California, the Golden Gate Bridge has been called scary for drivers by many travel experts. That’s because the bridge is at the receiving end of strong winds. However, the bridge has been designed to withstand up to 100 miles per hour of winds and even strong earthquakes. A number of people unfortunately have committed suicide by jumping of these beautiful architectural marvel. The American Society of Civil Engineers meanwhile have included this bridge among the Wonders of the Modern World.

This Overseas Highway stands just over 65 feet above the Gulf of Mexico. This bridge is surely not to be crossed by those who are scared of water. It was built in 1912 and was renovated in the 1980s. It boasts idyllic views which are sufficient to distract the drivers from the duty.

6 – Deception Pass Bridge, Washington

At a height of 180 feet from the water surface, lies this two laned 1,486 feet long Deception Pass Bridge and is named due to the difficult driving conditions that it poses.

With water rushing beneath the bridge and a narrow lane for pedestrians, the Deception Pass Bridge is not an easy nut to crack for those who are faint at heart.

At just under 25 miles, this is the longest continuous bridge over water according to the Guinness Book of World Records. It lies just over 25 feet above the water surface and is definitely going to cause consternation among those who fear water and even bridges.
