Would you Drive over the Brookport Bridge at Night?

The Brookport Bridge is known by many to be anxiety-inducing. It's narrow lanes and metal grid deck make it tricky to drive across. At night.. It's even tougher.

    I drove over every day except Sunday (my day off from work) for several years. One way was always in the dark. Still have occasional nightmares as I was hit by a drunk driver about midway on an icy, rainy day but walked away unhurt. Angels must hover around this bridge.

    Many years ago lots of old steel bridges had perforated decks like that that make your tires sing as you drove over them. I always thought they were cool as a kid. I'd look out the back seat window through the deck and see the water underneath us. As a driver they do make your steering feel a bit weird though.

I don't even see myself going over Shawneetown bridge from what I saw on YTube, but then I can get very easily skittish driving on certain roads and bridges. Chances are, as a passenger, day or night, I'd be more afraid of this Brookport Bridge than being on 64 to St. Louis. And that is super scary enough.

    It's a wonderful bridge rode and drove over it many times excellent views of the Ohio river. Was over it long before they put the steel deck in. Remember Sam Burrage driving over it for Channel 6 news the day it reopened with the new deck installed. We always called it the old Paducha bridge. Guess it depends on which side you live as to what you call it.
