Lake Pontchartrain Causeway, Louisiana

This is one of the longest and scariest bridges in the world. It sits only 16 feet above choppy and turbulent waters for a total of almost 24 miles. Since 1969, it has held the Guinness World Record for the longest bridge to cross water.

Can you imagine taking a wrong turn onto this thing? You might be in for quite a detour. Generally, its existence helps commuters get to New Orleans up to 50 minutes quicker than if they were to drive around the water.
