Longest Bridges Trip - 2016The reason for my header for this trip, is something that we didn't plan for, but discovered along the way. We would actually cross eight out the ten longest bridges in USA. Later changes of plans meant that we actually only crossed six of the ten, but it's still a lot of long bridges. The ones that we missed was #10, General W. K. Wilson bridge carrying I-65 across Mobile River, as we didn't get on I-65 at all. Also #9 Sunshine Skyway Bridge across Tampa Bay, as we didn't go to Tampa as planned, but stayed on I-75 around town. Two bridges we would not have crossed anyway, were #7, San Mateo-Hayward Bridge across San Francisco Bay and # 2, Chesapeake Bay Bridge -Tunnel in Virginia. The ones we did cross were (not necessarily in that order) #8, Seven-Mile Bridge in Florida, #6, Jubilee Parkway in Alabama, #5, Bonnet Carre Spillway Bridge in Louisiana, #4, Atchafalaya Basin Bridge in Louisiana, #3, Manchak Swamp Bridge in Louisiana and finally #1, Lake Pontchartrain Causeway in Louisiana as well.
