We always went over it when we were little. We had a place Up-North... I am so use to it now. Though it can be scary in Winter.....

I have been over this bridge so many times, it would be hard to calculate. I like the drive from L.P. to U.P. much better. I love seeing it in the distance as you are driving on 75, north. It means you are that much closer to heaven on earth.

I hardly drive over it anymore.

With the road construction and weather it reminds me of the movie Finale Destination, were they were on a bridge of the same caliber.

That bridge has always scared the Da Yooper out of me. No matter how many times I went over it.
