The Bay Bridge has gotten on the nerves of its motorists since it opened. It has a dual-span, two-hundred-foot-high deck that becomes truly terrifying during storms. Drivers traveling in bad weather cannot even see the shore from the bridge when they’re driving. Even in good weather, the Bay Bridge is still a major point of traffic congestion. Washingtonian called it one of the top ten “scariest” roads in America.
