Good morning bridge fans.
I can still recall going over the Moyie River Canyon Bridge in Idaho at a stellar 30 MPH with no traffic about. When I reached halfway and looked down at the trees down at the bottom looked like specs, the guard rails gave me a reasonable amount of safety if a tire blew out or a tie rod gave out, it would catch me. Was nothing compared to the Mighty Mac with that dern pipe, nor was the Chesapeake Bay Bridge it too had guard rails, not very tall ones, but guard rails none the less. The guard rail champ was the floating bridge across lake Washington in Seattle, those things looked like they could catch a tractor trailer.
