Lake Pontchartrain Causeway, Louisiana - One of the Longest and Scariest

The Lake Pontchartrain Causeway in Louisiana stretches an astonishing 24 miles, making it one of the longest bridges in the world. The sheer length creates a disorienting sense of isolation, as you're surrounded by water with no land in sight for much of the journey. This can be particularly unnerving for those with thalassophobia, the fear of large bodies of water. The causeway’s low elevation means that during storms, waves can crash over the bridge, adding to the tension.

The monotony of the drive, combined with the possibility of sudden weather changes, makes this crossing an unsettling experience for many.
