Lake Pontchartrain Causeway in Louisiana, USA

Those with aquaphobia (fear of water) will find their journey through the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway a difficult one to bear. The passageway with two parallel bridges is about 32 miles long, with nothing surrounding it but water. That’s already a torturous journey made worse because nearly 20 vehicles have flown over the rails since the mid-’90s.

Often christened “The Causeway,” the bridge connects the two cities of Mandeville and Metairie and has become an indispensable route for many people. In the summer, using it is all fine, but when it’s foggy during colder months, the bridge’s use becomes restricted to 35 miles per hour due to poor visibility.
