Oh, you'd be nervous all the time driving in Boston!

I need to get out more. I didn't realize places were set up like this... I mean i know there are bridges even looong bridges... but bridges that stretch across long bodies of water, underwater tunnels.. it is just crazy.!!! I must have been living in a hole!

Much of Boston is now a giant huge hole!!! For a time, there were parts of the system where, when stopped in traffic, you could peer over a guardrail and down several stories into the ground below. Now it's all paved over, pretty much, but we know they are down there!

I've walked the Mackinac Bridge on Labor Day and it's really cool to stand on the grated section and see the water waaaaay down below you.

Unites Michigan's upper and lower peninsulas. The Mackinac Bridge is is the longest suspension bridge in the Western Hemisphere with 7,400 feet of roadway suspended in the air over the straits of Mackinac. Total length of the bridge, including its approaches, is approximately five miles.

The USA/Canada tunnel in Detroit dips under the river connecting Lake Erie and Lake St. Clair and only takes a couple minutes to traverse. Not that long at all.

I've always loved bridges and tunnels.
