OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was AWESOME. I can not believe that bridge is THAT high in the air for that HUGE boat to go under. That was definitely fun to watch. Good jo.
In 1971 when we lived in Maryland my family crossed that bridge on our way to vacation on outer banks of NC. My mother thought it was a drawbridge but my father said the biggest battleships can go under it. I can now see what he meant. He had a tape recorder in the car & recorded us & I still have the recording.
You ought to try walking across the bridge. When I lived in Maryland, the bridge used to be opened for walking once a year. I have done the walk several times.
I lived near that bridge in Primcess Anne. Md. years ago Heard about that bridge walk on National Geographic Channel. No way walking that bridge. Lol!😂😂
Oh that would be loads of fun, I'd love walking over it, but I doubt that would be possible with the traffic volume. Cooper River bridge in Charleston SC is high over a shipping channel has a sidewalk/bike lane you can walk over apart from the traffic lanes.
As a lifetime Marylander I can attest to the absolute fear crossing this damn bridge. Pure panic. Maryland has many scary bridges especially in a soft top two door jeep wrangler.
This happened on Saturday Morning. We were crossing the bay bridge and we saw the cruise ship on the southbound of the bridge. It was heading back to Baltimore.
who me, It's people driving slow because they had pooped in their pants due to fear and trying to avoid smushing it anymore than they have too in their drawers.
I'm familiar with the cruise ships and this bridge😊...I have been on the carnival twice( fantasy and Destination) and over this bridge several times. I was soooo nervous the first time I drove over it.
I am old enough to remember before that bridge was built and one had to cross the bay by ferry. First bridge was a single span and years later they built the second span. I grew up crossing those bridges.
This video is the Cheaspeake Bay Bridge on US route 50 between Washington, DC, Annapolis Md and Delmarva, midway up the Chesapeake Bay. The Chesapeake Bay Bridge/Tunnel is outside Norfolk on US route 13 to the Delmarva
Lmao, you driving on one of the most scariest bridges in America. In one hand is your phone, another is your wheel. Idk if that’s just stupid or balls. Lmfao
Because the chesapeake bay is an extremely busy and important shipping channel, meaning that the bridge would have to open up very often. This would make traffic a nightmare, (even though it is already) as the cars would have to wait for the ship to pass by. There is also only one feasible way of reaching the Delmarva Peninsula from Central Maryland other than the Bay Bridge, which would be taking I-95 north up to Delaware route 1, and then continuing south. This means this is a major chokepoint for traffic.
Some of us like high bridges like that and doesn't bother us. Having a bridge open up for ships to pass is antiquated subject to malfunction and extreme highway traffic jams. Not no but HELL NO. My nerves get torn up enough waiting at traffic lights.
300 feet above water (up to roadway). The Carnival Pride ship sails underneath (frankly, wasn't at all that impressed with the Carnival which provided me and the family with our last cruise, in 2014, on the Pacific (I live in CAL)), as there was LIMITED hours buffett, NO Broadway stuff like Princess, it's subsid-dirary (Princess DiaryJOKE!-Disney pun wasted, as they ironiocally don't even OWN Princess!) ship, or even OUTDOOR movie..or free stuff at the bottom in the middle in the atrium a la the counterpart Princess atrium. Still good to be on ANY ship, too bad the coronovavirus had a huge base in the first place back in 2018-19;.
