Are These the Scariest Bridges to Cross in America? 

It’s great that she wants to conquer her fears, but it’s probably really not great for other drivers having her have a meltdown behind the wheel. Take small steps. Try with smaller bridges, on times that aren’t so populated, and work your way up. For the safety of everyone.

My aunt has gephyrophobia. I remember being with her when I was kid and her being scared to drive over bridges. I didn’t know it had a name.

"IM NOT GONNA LOOK." as she's driving and over a bridge....straight up craziness

I understand the anxiety, but it's extremely dangerous for her and for other drivers to do it. People I know with similar fears go a different route. It's a bit of a longer process but ensures the safety of everyone driving.

Her: “Where can I pull off?” Bridge: “In the water.”

Very dangerous 😳 She shouldn't be driving if she can't cross over bridges. Could be lethal for other drivers

Who's here after the Baltimore Bridge 😂

My heart goes out to both of these women. I have had a fear of high bridges since I was a child (especially when they're over water). When I became old enough to drive...I would avoid them at all costs even of it meant driving miles and miles out of the way. I applaud them both for facing their fears. I'm not sure I'd be brave enough...even with a police escort.

She's a road hazard driving on that bridge, I'm sure she's never gonna drive on any bridge ever. She should either let someone else drive or call a taxi...

Great way to overcome these fears is to look at the history if these bridges. Most of them collapse due to design flaws and poor maintenance.

If you cry while driving across a bridge, you shouldn't drive....smh

I feel her pain sometimes I use to be scared of bridges but that didn’t stop me from looking at the beautiful ocean😌 I hate to see a woman in pain this much it’s really sad

I am the complete opposite of people with “gephyrophobia”. As a kid I was always fascinated with infrastructure, especially bridges and tunnels. I used to love going over them in my parents car.

Oh dang, wouldn't that be dangerous driving when you're having major anxiety?

I know what it's like to have anxiety while driving. It's not fun, it's scary! It hurt my heart for the one women that was crying while going over the bridge but, I'm glad they both did it and say they did to try and concore their fear of driving over a bridge. It's a mind over matter situation and with anxiety and panic attacks it's fight, flight, or freeze situation. With anxiety use your 6 senses while you drive to try and concore or ease the anxiety that could turn into a panic attack. I have anxiety driving in alot or heavy traffic. 💁‍♀️💌💯

I once had a daily commute that included a breathtaking bridge. 😱 Using focal points away from the water and keeping my eyes on the traffic helped tremendously.

The woman shouldn't even be driving...

Mine is worse lol I'm afraid of the freeway. The last time I get on one was the last I couldn't stop shaking, and my heart kept booming😖

fear is no joke, i’m afraid of throwing up and it is debilitating. i will sob and sob over the smallest things it’s terrible

Imagine what it was like building these bridges, that must be the scariest job

Reminds me of crossing the Bay Bridge otw to Ocean City, MD. I hope she conquers her fear!

I would love to be a cop that helps people across the bridge via escort, I love bringing smiles.

My mom has this (but not as bad as the woman in this video). I never knew there was a word to describe her fear and hatred of driving across bridges.

I’m just like her! I accidentally took a wrong turn and ended up on the highest overpass I’ve ever been on. I damn near passed out while driving. God was with me that day. I’m so serious..

They reposted it with better quality I almost broke my laptop thinking it was bugging.

I could relate to this story I had a very similar experience with the Kentucky Louisville bridge I had several meltdowns crossing that one

RU-vid's algorithm has a sick sense of humor...

"My heart rate is up to 105" You can barely call that high😂

I don't like empty roads, especially at night. I feel the same way.

I have no problem driving over bridges, but the Chesapeake Bay bridge is literally so scary, you'd have to experience in person

The fear of driving over bridges wasn’t helped today.

Back in August of 2007, I was going to the movies with my family and we crossed the I-35W bridge in Minneapolis about 10 or so minutes before the bridge collapsed. Still the luckiest day of my life.

I was basically doing the same thing when I went down to Key West, Florida for a week. We had to go across the 7 mile bridge numerous times. It was terrifying the one time we went across it at night.

The fact that they went to such great lengths to conquer their fears is kudos to them. I mean the fact she had a panic attack and still drove over the bridge shows how brave she is that was probably not the best decision as her having such a severe panic attack could’ve caused an accident, but beside that point she is incredible for making that effort. And I agree that she should not go over that bridge again not because of the danger of it falling but because if she has a really severe panic attack and passes out she can have an accident on the bridge hopefully in the future her anxiety will be managed the point where she can drive over the bridge without having such severe panic attacks

You know what’s even more scary driving through a tunnel. I get nervous even when I’m not the one driving. 😰

I lost brain cells watching this.

Why have her cross a 2 mile bridge knowing she has a severe phobia?

I used to be terrified of crossing bridges so I can relate. It’s all about ‘changing your mind’, which takes effort yet mostly prayers 🙏 😉

"Oh my gosh, it's huge" - That's what she said!

my mom has this phobia, she has panic attacks whenever she goes over long bridges (especially over water). i remember once we were driving to the beach and there was a big bridge and she was just hyperventilating and just “following” this truck in front of her as her safety guide

I never knew my fear of crossing bridges was a thing, I only think about it when actually driving over but I never really thought why - not so much the fear of the bridge falling but more like the wide open space around me. I don't avoid them though because the brain calms down the more often you face the fear.

I feel bad for her 😕

She should be glad she was not on the Interstate 35W in Minnesota in August of 2007. That bridge collapsed over the Mississippi River. 13 people died and 145 were injured. A friend of ours was on her way to cross it, but needed gas and stopped to fill up, saved her life. Sad day!

I partially have this fear. Whenever I'm driving somewhere with my dad and we cross over a bridge I have the feeling that it's support will give way and the entire bridge will collapse.

The police escort is honestly super nice. That’s awesome to see.

I was on the bridge when it fell. Luckily I’m okay!

Funniest thing I’ve seen today so far 🤣😂

My late father always hated driving over this one long bridge in Louisiana. He wasn’t afraid of much of anything…..except bridges lol.

Where I completely understand, I don't think she should have a license, her anxiety can cause a serious accident

Lmfao!!!! I can’t even take that lady seriously 🤣

Not even I could cross over that second bridge. That looks so scary

I actually totally can sympathize where she's coming from. I used to have the same phobia. When I was a kid I couldn't ride in the bus over the bridge near my house and the school refused to send the bus a different way to avoid the bridge just for me so for years until I got over my fear of bridges my grandparents my neighbors family friends anyone that was available went out of their way to take me to school so I didn't have to go over a bridge. From the looks of this video it looks like she's starting to conquer her fear as well. Once she gets through this and is on the other side she'll probably feel like I did that the whole thing was absolutely just ridiculous.

I don't suffer as much as this lady, but I do have anxiety, my stomach drops and I grip the steering wheel. It doesn't matter if it's over water or an overpass. It is an overwhelming sense of dread.

I’ve always found driving over bridges beautiful and peaceful. Never would’ve thought ppl were actually scared of something like tht

Camera man: "You know you gotta drive back right"

I used not be scared of bridges until i heard about the Key Bridge

My kids have made fun of me for my fear of bridges for years. I’m glad to see I’m not alone and that there’s a name for it. I have it for tunnels too. It’s horrible

Man, after seeing the first woman cross the Chesapeake Bay bridge like how she did, I wonder how she would take crossing the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel? The CBBT is 17.6 miles long. Could she handle that long of a bridge?

1:31 "Oh my God it's huge". That threw me off so bad. 😂😂😂😂😂

This is probably equivalent to the fear of heights Thinking that you could die from falling or the building collapsing

People like this just do not deserve a driver's license. Not just for the safety of themselves, but also for others.

Maybe she shouldn’t be driving on bridges. But no, its 2022, lets make her look courageous and strong for having a meltdown like a 6 year old child while in control of a motor vehicle surrounded by other drivers.

I used to cross the Chesapeake bay bridge daily for work... sometimes twice back and forth to see friends. It's really not that bad. Only rough when they have two way traffic on the two-lane span... it's like any other road, but in the air and everyone moves fast. My jeep always felt really high compared to the sidewalls. Maybe the only time I wanted a sedan.

I’m terrified of bridges. I live right down the road from the tallest bridge in Georgia and I absolutely hate going over it. It’s just shy of 500ft but it does have an amazing view of the marshes here.

While I am proud of her for facing her fears, it is totally okay to pick I different route. Like if I am nervous about making a left hand turn across 4 lanes, I will take a right, then get into the left turn median lane and turn into some random parking lot, and then turn right again. There isn't anything wrong with doing what you gotta do to be a safe driver

I would like to see them try the lake ponchantrain causeway in New Orleans

That deleware bridge is a BEAST especially in a semi when it’s storming and winds blowing crazy at night

They would into full cardiac arrest if she they had to drive across the Causeway Bridge in Louisiana.

I couldn't be next to someone driving like that at cross a bridge I just can't

I like how they showcased that panic attacks can be visible, and silent. I have the same phobia, and I'm so proud of the people who have the courage to drive over bridges.

Try driving over the Atchafalaya Basin Bridge in Louisiana. 18 miles long. You better pray you don’t break down or get in an accident because you’re stuck.

I don't have any fear while driving over bridges. My panic sets in when traffic comes to a halt and I'm just sitting there, stuck in the middle of the bridge. My imagination tells me that all the weight of the cars just sitting there with me will collapse the bridge. I know it's silly, but it feels terrible.

Wow I couldn’t imagine what they would do if an accident happened and they got stuck in traffic on the bridge and not moving .OMG!!!!!!

If ur scared of bridges than you just simply should not be driving a car

Literally Inside Edition uploads anything interesting.

Meanwhile I am the complete opposite. I love bridges and just seeing the water below me.

I have the same fear not that bad but similar.

Hearing her scream is hilarious!!!

The first lady is a warrior, she fought well

I remember from old videos that people used to hire a person who'd drive them across the Chesapeake bay Bridge, did they discontinued those services?

“Omg it’s huge” lol that’s what she said

This woman should have her licence revoked. She is a hazard to every other motorist.

Can we just talk about how awesome of a reporter that Les Trent is? Also congrats to both ladies for accomplishing that.

I do too. I never go across the water because of my severe anxiety with bridges. Even little bridges freak me out. I can't do it which sucks

1:30 🤣😂 sorry don’t mean to laugh

1:32 OH MY GOD ITS HUGE!!! that's what she said.

That second bridge had a nice view. I can imagine it during summer time, rolling through there with the windows down feeling the cool breeze from the water come across your face and hair.

I understand your fear and anxiety of that particular bridge. I have crossed it many times in my semi and was a wreck the whole time. Heart rate and mind racing, but I'm much better years later

Getting rid of those phobias is only done through interactions like this. Basically just man up and face them head on. Then you start to realize there's absolutely nothing to be afraid of. Some people just refuse to take such initiatives and allow these phobias to be used as a crutch for the rest of their lives.

*Yeah death doesn't come in bridges only but everywhere anywhere* 🙄

I've always been scared to traverse high bridges myself - especially the Fraser River bridge and the Astoria bridge in Oregon. I've 'white knuckled' them both!

Y'all shoulda had the skyway bridge on here. It connects st.pete, FL. With palmetto, FL. It's scary as hell and tall. It actually fell (the original) a long time ago when a cargo ship hit it.

Good grief! Get a grip!🙄 Love the Mackinac Bridge! Gorgeous! I'm from Michigan. Mackinac Island is gorgeous too! A must visit!👍🥰👏👏👏

Damn this is crazy ☹️☹️☹️

Good job ❤️❤️❤️

I love driving over bridges i think it’s fun and a nice view

Before I go across a bridge I get a look at it and how it's build before I decide to cross, it's basically like elevators that go across

She's brave

My dad is not a fan of bridges but nothing like this. I freak out more on the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway bc it is over 25 miles and you have no exits. You get on it, you keep going and going. Driving on it at night is real creepy

I totally understand why she would fear that. I fear biking over metal grills, manhole covers etc as I'm irrationally afraid of them collapsing under me. That and trucks passing to close and their back corner clipping me .... but that one has happened to me already by a bus. I was biking down a hill with a turn, and as it turned it caught my side, and i was thrown about 4 - 6 metres, into shrubbery that caught me and stopped me falling off a cliff. My bike was MANGLED, and my wire front basket (big enough to hold a basketball) was crushed flat, and my front wheel bent in half. If not for my basket, the police guy thought it would've been my head breaking the fall. I blacked out, and got whopping great bruises, and a mild concussion, but nothing else, miraculously. But not I fear driving behind or near big buses/trucks, and I moved to a city with no hills because the panic at biking down them was debilitating.
