IMO the Rt. 301 bridge over the Potomac is scarier than the BB. Both are bad.

And how about Rt 13 from Cape Charles, off the tip of the Eastern Shore towards Norfolk? It is to pee oneself.

I had never thought about having a flat tire on one of those bridges before. Thanks for the warning, cyclotic.

What I hate about those long water crossings is how low the bridges seem to be, over the water. Probably not much lower than a regular suspension bridge like the ones over the Delaware River around Philly, or that Woodrow Wilson drawbridge out of DC, because boats have to pass under them. But because they are too long to be humped in the middle, they just seem lower. And for a really long time!

Just looking at some of the pix of the Bay Bridge, I see that it really is low to the water, and boats pass over it! No wonder I've never wanted to drive it again. Yoweeeee!

I never let my families tires get below 60% of tread life, call me neurotic, but I have not had a flat since the early 70's.

That and tires are made so much better these days.
