Some say the single greatest bridge ever built held the world's longest title for allmost 73 years one day in June 1973 the bridge plummeted to the water but in the nick of time sprung back and gently brought everyone to safety not damaging one spring or strut and get this it goes over water I swear goes right over water there's water underneath for most of the bridge and land on each side of it . I mean who thinks of this stuff!!!! 🤯I'll tell you who but you wouldn't believe me do you remember the bumble from Rudolph the Red-Nosed reindeer the one that bounced it wasn't him it was his favorite bridge but no it was the famed cartographer arrigoni Jones The single greatest man to ever grace this fine country even if he was pretty weird and allthough he had a sexual attraction to bridges look what came of it and who are we to judge when such a gorgeous specimen comes out of that relationship

Easy to cross the bridge on foot or bicycle. I went both directions on an early fall day while out exploring on my bike. It was Saturday and the traffic wasn't too heavy or loud, pick a day like this if you want to bring your "timid" children for an Awesome walk

The bridge holds many, many wonderful memories of my childhood years! Now as a lady in my senior years I have often felt the joy of my childhood years as I traveled over the bridge recalling fondly my cousin who made such bridge crossings well worth while!

The only good part about driving through Middletown down route 9 with its horrible traffic is seeing this cool bridge.
