I noticed some guardrail damage last weekend. That bridge is nervewracking but not nearly as bad as the Rainbow was back in the day. I like to have died from fright when my drivers' ed teacher made a classmate drive over it on her very first trip behind the wheel. For those who don't know this was the tallest bridge in the South and had a single lane in each direction with no divider. :D
I can't imagine Rainbow as a two-way bridge. It's barely wide enough as a one-way bridge.
For a scare, check out Lake Charles' bridge. I walked over it after Hurricane Rita. Wow. The rusted-through areas make you think.
