Annoy? Maybe scare-the-sh*t-out-of is more like it.

The interstate 74 suspension bridge over the Mississippi river where I live was built in 1935 and upgraded in 1970.

It's 2 lanes, no shoulders, and speed limit 50. Getting next to a semi truck on that thing is never fun.




They recently finished replacing the box girder bridge over the Tennessee near where I live.

2 lanes (one way, for the last couple decades), no shoulder, 55mph limit, 14' clearance. Log trucks got both lanes, if you were fond of your life.

I'll miss it.
