What) 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. In fact, the current bridge is the second iteration. The newer bridge scrapped the swing span concept of the original in lieu of a sturdier, 65-foot-high arch to allow boats to pass by. While it may be sturdier, we still wouldn’t want to be on it during a storm. (1)

    Where) The Florida Keys, connecting the Middle and Lower Keys.

    Why) When I was making up this Buckys list, I stumbled across an internet travel guide called World's Scariest Bridges. (2)  Even though none of the descriptions of US bridges scare me, Pam was sure nervous about this one before we got to it.
