This is not for the feint of heart. This bridge is long and can be both boring and dangerous. In the morning, there is often a thick fog that necessitates the bridge to be reduced to one lane each way with a pace car to regulate the speed of travel to 30 mph. That means it will take over one hour to cross. If you travel in the morning, always give yourself an 75 minutes to cross unless it is very clear out. Additionally, there is a lot of speeding on the bridge. Fortunately, the bridge has it's own police force with multiple offices and lots of designed hiding spots and decoy cars to deter and catch speeders. While it is certainly a thrill at first, the bridge and it's boat crossing mountain climbs can be nerve wracking for the nervous driver. A final note, there is a height restriction for the bridge. Be sure not to have bicycles on top of your car or large boxes/ski boxes placing your vehicle above 7 feet tall. The toll is greatly increased.
