I'm having a panic attack just watching the video

When traffic comes to a stop on your side of the bridge and you get stuck on it and the other direction is still going, you can feel the bridge bouncing up and down quite a bit. Another thing I hate is when you are coming over the peak and traffic is stopped on the downside, by the time you see the brake lights, it’s almost too late to stop.

I live near Lake Charles and I sometimes cross this bridge often, and I will say, the anxiety is REAL with this bridge. But I tend to remind myself that this unstable trap survived 160 mph wind from hurricane Laura not too long ago. EVERYONE was surprised when they came back to find this bridge still standing.

First went across this bridge 20 years ago on my way to Houston. This was my first time traveling I-10. Going across this bridge, and the Mississippi River bridge in Baton Rouge, was a little intimidating. I'm glad I was by myself, and not with people who may have been freaked out going across a bridge that high.

I recently worked in Westlake for 6 weeks. Westlake and Lake Charles are nice little towns and the Shell Beach Drive area is particularly beautiful. The I-10 bridge however, is the most ill-designed, dangerous piece of crap I have ever encountered. I had been over it before, once or twice, but when you cross it every day you begin to understand just how bad it is, from an engineering and capacity standpoint. And I'm a Kentuckian, who used to cross the I-75 Brent Spence bridge every day for 4 decades. These are two of the most over worked, out-of-date bridges in the nation. Let's get these bridges replaced or at least upgraded/ augmented. Only a second bridge will suffice on I-75, and I suggest the I-10 in Lake Charles should be entirely torn down and replaced. God bless the citizens of the Lake Charles area, I love you all. Uncle Ray Ray

I used to be a over the trucker, hate bridges, especially this one, you can see it miles away.

Cross this bridge multiple times a week. Before Rainbow bridge, Port Arthur as a stupid kid, hit right at 57 mph on bicycle & over 125mph on motorcycle. Almost hit wild swamp hog & her 5 hoglets which crossed in front of that bridge about 1am when I was young & stupid. Not that I turned into a blessed genius as I got older. Just recalling a couple of asinine things done as a teenager.

Its not the bridge thats scary, , yo its some of the people driving on it!..

[vickyswindoll]

I had a major anxiety attack crossing this bridge many years ago, in a thunderstorm. Never drive across it again!

[Sharmuta]

Only thing that scares me about driving over this bridge is thinking it’s going to collapse when you are stuck on it during rush hour.

[christyharris]

I've been on that bridge I just love that bridge

[anna__]

lmao i ddint know people were so scared of this bridge!! grew up there and drove over it many times, never thought twice. always loved seeing the golden nugget and laburge appear into view.

[jondon]

It's funny reading comments about how scary it is I'm from lake Charles and have been over it thousands of times. Sometimes during bad storms. I guess I'm just used to it. And I'm actually afraid of heights

[alyciayoung]

I am absolutely terrified to drive across this bridge! I've had panic attacks!

I’ve been over it one time and have to say it’s different than most bridges and probably one of a kind… 😮

[maryrowe]

My grandparents drove to the top of this before it was completed and looked over the edge. I use 210 bridge more frequently.

[teresaoneill]

This bridge and another in the area are amazing. Definitely can bring on an anxiety attack, especially at night!

[Theyluvjack]

I literally just crossed this bridge on Saturday and Sunday when I went to go watch the LSU game. Probably the most scary bridge I’ve ever been on in my life.

Driving over it in the SUV on the way to Florida or the scariest drive of my life.. you can't see over the hood when you're going on that angle so you're basically driving blind.. heart-stopping will never do it again
