Deception Pass Bridge (Washington State, USA)
Connecting Whidbey Island to Fidalgo Island, this foggy bridge would surely be terrifying to cross seeing as it’s 180 feet above Deception Pass waters. Prior to the construction of Deception Pass Bridge, people had to take a ferry to reach the islands and in the early 20th century, locals traveled with their horse-and-buggy and used an unscheduled ferry in order to get to Whidbey Island from Fidalgo Island. They would call the ferry by banging a saw with a mallet and then wait for the ferry. Even though the bridge is among the Pacific Northwest’s scenic wonders, we secretly wish that the ferry rides were still available as we aren’t completely sure we’d want to cross the bridge…

Lake Pontchartrain Causeway (Louisiana, USA)
This bridge is the longest and among the world’s scariest as it stretches 23.83 miles and sits just 16 feet above Lake Pontchartrain’s choppy waters. Since 1969, the Pontchartrain Causeway has held the record for being the world’s longest bridge that is over water. Its construction greatly helped the economy of the surrounding small communities in North Shore by reducing the time it takes to drive into New Orleans by as much as 50 minutes. Now, the communities can access the Metropolitan city more conveniently.
