Yes, this bridge sounds wild and the stuff of nightmares! (I have a recurring one in which I am driving old routes through Seattle that exist only in my dreams, and I am speeding in traffic on a high, curving on-ramp, which sometimes turns into an uphill so steep I am sure the car will tumble down backwards.) Your photos are dreamy, though. I now live in a city with 7 bridges, and I am constantly trying to capture the awe they create in me, even as I never feel entirely comfortable on them. A good writer friend has devoted much of her work to bridges--a metaphor for so many things--and she introduced me to the term "gephyrophobia" which is a fear of bridges and tunnels. Just reading your words made mine rear up.

When a thing is called "Skyway" it has to be something you don't see often. I do like a challenging drive so I would definitely have a go. Is this a bridge people have to drive daily? What's the speed (limit)?
