World's Scariest Bridges

"This bridge rises just 16 feet above the waters of Lake Pontchartrain, but the real fear factor is that it never seems to end — it spans nearly 24 miles from Metairie to Mandeville, LA. (Once you reach roughly the eight-mile mark, say goodbye to land visibility.)" - Travel + Leisure Editors

We enjoy driving over the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway Bridge to reach the Northshore. This bridge is truly an engineering marvel at over twenty-three miles long. It is also the longest bridge over water continuous in the world. The views are very nice and the safety features are admirable. A fun drive.

At first, it's nice to think that the bridge is 24 miles long, but it can also be a bit intimidating. Midway through, you may wonder if you'll ever reach the end and start imagining all sorts of worst-case scenarios. However, in the end, it's worth driving on one of the longest bridges ever built by mankind.

OMG! I never thought it would be 25+ miles stretch. I am from Toronto, came to New Orleans for the new year. The drive on the causeway was amazing, it’s like never ending. It’s a must visit place for the visitors. But we need to pay $6 for the other way around.

The Lake Pontchartrain Causeway is a very long bridge it is 24 miles long and for most of the the bridge you cannot see land. The bridge is very low but the traffic on a Sunday morning was very light. The view was beautiful. I loved seeing pelicans and the morning sunrise.

We drove an extra 1/2 hour out of our way just to cross this bridge. From the middle, you can't see land in any direction. Other than that, not much of an attraction. It's nice that there isn't a toll. If there had been, I'd been a bit disappointed. Glad we took the time, though.

Pretty cool bridge, the longest in the world too! Time definitely passed by way quicker than I thought but for a tourist who just wanted to drive on the world's longest bridge it does just that, nothing more nothing less. What was cool was it took our airplane 8 minutes to cross the bridge to get to the other side!

The southbound side of the bridge is horrible. With the amount of money that is collected from tolls, they can definitely afford to repair the pads under the expansion joints under each section of the bridge. It is pitiful.

Such a cool bridge! It took us 20 minutes to get to the other side. And we made it during sunset, such a blast! $6 for car.
