In places it is, but they are constantly working on it and maintaining it. They are working now on the West Bound Bridge at nights, so they are keeping it in good condition.

@pumpkinproblem 3 года назад

I'm curious, if know I have lilapsophobia so my mind takes it to the extreme, but do most people driving into a storm, especially ones that looks like that not think about it possibly having a tornado hidden in it? I get so freaked out I'll turn around before or find some business to wait for the storm to pass over cause I always assume a tornado is in every storm and it really sucks haha

@annie482000 2 года назад

I'm glad I don't drive❗I have astraphobia (fear of thunderstorms) and have had that since I was little.

@pandaheadcjr Год назад

thats a squall line witch means the wind is going in one direction and because of that there is no wind sheer and if there is little or no sheer then tornado development is unlikely

@jontownsend6451 5 лет назад

Going off subject here, but i am shocked about the condition of the roadway over the bridge and the lack of street lighting. Here in the UK our major highway bridges are well maintained and well lit at night.

@weltonvillegal6258 5 лет назад

A good guess would be that there are no lights due to people complaining about the light pollution in nearby towns. Their house would be lit up 24-7.

@scottherron 4 года назад

A lot of the street lights have been upgraded since this video to LED's, the old lights had been poorly maintained by the state for several years before this video. There has also been issues with heroin addicts stealing the wire that powers these lights and scraping the copper for drug money sadly.

@centuryrox 5 лет назад

It's about 4.5 miles long and about 185 ft high. The eastbound span opened in 1952, and the westbound span (the one he was driving on) opened in 1973. And yes, it can be a bit nerve-racking to drive across it, especially in heavy traffic and bad weather.

@ModernizedLifestyle 5 лет назад

centuryrox thanks so much for the knowledge, I never knew that about the bay bridge.

@centuryrox 5 лет назад

@@ModernizedLifestyle Here's something else you might not know: The 1973 expansion (building the westbound span) was actually voted down by the MD voters, only to be overridden by the MD General Assembly and built anyway. In this case, that was a good thing. I can't imagine the traffic nightmares only having 1 span open to cross the bay would cause these days!

I live in Maryland and I cross this bridge all the time. It really isn't that bad once you actually get up there. I guess some people get some anxiety and a little bit of claustrophobia because it is a little bit claustrophobic with only 2 lanes open at once and it is also very high up, but I actually find as a great opportunity to relax.

@kbw.rvwhntr 6 лет назад

I'm assuming it was either during rush hour or the tail end of it because that west bound traffic towards the bridge was awful! The storm wasn't nearly as bad as it looked before you crossed the bridge. I thought it would be a lot of lightning or even some hail but I've driven through storms 100 times worse than this one.
