"Besides being seven miles long, the bridge itself doesn't seem that scary, but its position in the Florida Keys makes it a prime target for the region's many hurricanes. The newest version of the bridge scrapped the original concept in lieu of a sturdier 65-foot-high arch to allow boats to pass under. While it may be sturdier, we still wouldn't want to be on it during a storm." - Travel + Leisure Editors
