Why, do you suppose it was such a scary Bridge? You both agreed. It was by far the longest bridge I had gone over when I was a kid and my dad was driving. The GWB was a much beefier affair with those heavy supports. Then I moved out to California and the San Mateo Bridge and the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge are considerably longer, but there was something about the Tappan Zee that seemed a little bit rickety even 40 years ago. Maybe because I was so young when I traveled over it.
From the joisey side it looked like you were driving off the edge....such a long curve
