OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was AWESOME. I can not believe that bridge is THAT high in the air for that HUGE boat to go under. That was definitely fun to watch. Good jo.
In 1971 when we lived in Maryland my family crossed that bridge on our way to vacation on outer banks of NC. My mother thought it was a drawbridge but my father said the biggest battleships can go under it. I can now see what he meant. He had a tape recorder in the car & recorded us & I still have the recording.
You ought to try walking across the bridge. When I lived in Maryland, the bridge used to be opened for walking once a year. I have done the walk several times.
I lived near that bridge in Primcess Anne. Md. years ago Heard about that bridge walk on National Geographic Channel. No way walking that bridge. Lol!😂😂
Oh that would be loads of fun, I'd love walking over it, but I doubt that would be possible with the traffic volume. Cooper River bridge in Charleston SC is high over a shipping channel has a sidewalk/bike lane you can walk over apart from the traffic lanes.
As a lifetime Marylander I can attest to the absolute fear crossing this damn bridge. Pure panic. Maryland has many scary bridges especially in a soft top two door jeep wrangler.
This happened on Saturday Morning. We were crossing the bay bridge and we saw the cruise ship on the southbound of the bridge. It was heading back to Baltimore.
who me, It's people driving slow because they had pooped in their pants due to fear and trying to avoid smushing it anymore than they have too in their drawers.
I'm familiar with the cruise ships and this bridge😊...I have been on the carnival twice( fantasy and Destination) and over this bridge several times. I was soooo nervous the first time I drove over it.
I am old enough to remember before that bridge was built and one had to cross the bay by ferry. First bridge was a single span and years later they built the second span. I grew up crossing those bridges.
This video is the Cheaspeake Bay Bridge on US route 50 between Washington, DC, Annapolis Md and Delmarva, midway up the Chesapeake Bay. The Chesapeake Bay Bridge/Tunnel is outside Norfolk on US route 13 to the Delmarva
Lmao, you driving on one of the most scariest bridges in America. In one hand is your phone, another is your wheel. Idk if that’s just stupid or balls. Lmfao
Because the chesapeake bay is an extremely busy and important shipping channel, meaning that the bridge would have to open up very often. This would make traffic a nightmare, (even though it is already) as the cars would have to wait for the ship to pass by. There is also only one feasible way of reaching the Delmarva Peninsula from Central Maryland other than the Bay Bridge, which would be taking I-95 north up to Delaware route 1, and then continuing south. This means this is a major chokepoint for traffic.
Some of us like high bridges like that and doesn't bother us. Having a bridge open up for ships to pass is antiquated subject to malfunction and extreme highway traffic jams. Not no but HELL NO. My nerves get torn up enough waiting at traffic lights.
300 feet above water (up to roadway). The Carnival Pride ship sails underneath (frankly, wasn't at all that impressed with the Carnival which provided me and the family with our last cruise, in 2014, on the Pacific (I live in CAL)), as there was LIMITED hours buffett, NO Broadway stuff like Princess, it's subsid-dirary (Princess DiaryJOKE!-Disney pun wasted, as they ironiocally don't even OWN Princess!) ship, or even OUTDOOR movie..or free stuff at the bottom in the middle in the atrium a la the counterpart Princess atrium. Still good to be on ANY ship, too bad the coronovavirus had a huge base in the first place back in 2018-19;.
Just went over this bridge yesterday I was crapping my pants!!!
LOL! I would be too!
Wow! Thats a big bridge! I want to see it sometime! Looks beautiful!
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was AWESOME. I can not believe that bridge is THAT high in the air for that HUGE boat to go under. That was definitely fun to watch. Good jo.
Glad you liked it... Yeah it is a tall bridge and a HUGE ship.
Bridge was designed for an aircraft carrier to go under, though I dont think any have
best video...of passing over this bridge on youtube.
thanks...this is what i needed to see to truly know, i will NEVER be driving over this bridge.
Its a tow bridge so it costs to have that wonderful experience. I have driven it in driving rain and wind, its no fun.
Must be crazy going over it in a snowstorm
That is one hell of a structure very impressive..love seeing great feats of engineering
Lambchop 71 mint sauce yes it is.

How is that possible when there isnt even space for a shoulder to pull into?
@@mar.c1 They diverted all the traffic to the other span.
I lived near that bridge in Primcess Anne. Md. years ago
Heard about that bridge walk on National Geographic Channel. No way walking that bridge. Lol!😂😂

I have gone over this bridge twice a day for 27 years.
My fear is a traffic jam on one of so those
Oh hell no I would die I'm scared of heights and go over bridges often but that bridge seems like its Neverending
As a lifetime Marylander I can attest to the absolute fear crossing this damn bridge. Pure panic. Maryland has many scary bridges especially in a soft top two door jeep wrangler.
Being that the chesapeake bay bridge tunnel is way longer than this, you’d have a meltdown
Scary bridge! I’d rather be in the 🚢!
Indeed the Carnival Pride. I was on it in March!
mcdude2. I was too best experience I have had this far
I went on that cruise too
It's a frightening ride across that bridge. I let someone drive and I cover my head. Yes! It's that scary!
I go over that bridge every year from south Carolina to New Jersey and baby it is scary
This happened yesterday as we were crossing the bridge. My mom, sister, and her friend were terrified that the ship would crash into the bridge.
Me and my kids were on that boat
This happened on Saturday
Morning. We were crossing the bay bridge and we saw the cruise ship on the southbound of the bridge. It was heading back to Baltimore.
That's the carnival Pride
Yes
Is it for Gays?
@@joebring9079???
I'm Here after the Baltimore bridge collapse.
Phew! Just fits under the bridge.
Correct! Would you like to ride on TOP?
This is why the traffic crawls on this bridge.
Throw your phone out the window and DRIVE!
Amen! Practice safe dtiving.
who me, It's people driving slow because they had pooped in their pants due to fear and trying to avoid smushing it anymore than they have too in their drawers.
I've been over this bridge many times it is scary.

Where did you cruse to? Did you like it?
I am old enough to remember before that bridge was built and one had to cross the bay by ferry. First bridge was a single span and years later they built the second span. I grew up crossing those bridges.
Can someone tell me if I can avoid this thing if going to DC and philly
You absolutely will avoid the bay bridge on your way to Philly. You'll take 95 for most of the trip up.
Eddie Wilson thanks just looking at this thing is wrecking my nerves can t deal with height
@@alphonsodavis1578 I said the samething. I rather deal with the I 95 traffic than that bridge. I have a fear of heights and too much water.
Bridge is only 28 miles long....your going to go out the way to avoid 28 miles....
Bridge is not 28 miles long. You are thinking of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge/Tunnel which is further south of this bridge. I have been on both of them.
How come the Chesapeake bay Bridge shows a tunnel on Google maps, but not in this video?
The Chesapeake Bay Bridge and the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel are two very different structures.
This video is the Cheaspeake Bay Bridge on US route 50 between Washington, DC, Annapolis Md and Delmarva, midway up the Chesapeake Bay. The Chesapeake Bay Bridge/Tunnel is outside Norfolk on US route 13 to the Delmarva
No thank you !! I’m throwing up now
Those rails are too low
NOPE
2012: I was on princess 👸 cruise going under the Golden Gate Bridge
Beautiful !
Lmao, you driving on one of the most scariest bridges in America. In one hand is your phone, another is your wheel. Idk if that’s just stupid or balls. Lmfao
Awesome video
PJ Ebanks thanks
It truly is a marvel of engineering
I wonder were the huge cruise ship is going
My guess is.... for a cruse
It goes down the coast to Florida and the Caribbean. Sometimes to Bermuda as well.
Bahamas
I saw one yesterday when i was on tge bridge
All that water n high af above the water nah nah 🙀 where is this
Incredible
just an FYI this is not the Chesapeake Bay Bridge it is the Bay Bridge out of Annapolis
Samuel Moore what is it called then? This is the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and the one that crosses into VA is the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel.
I need to get out more😞😞😞😞
Wow
🦀 🐟 🚢
Just made it!
Thats one of the Disney boats!
Andrew Fox Are you Goofy, Disney ships leave from Port Canaveral Not Baltimore .
No, that is the Carnival Pride. Carnival's trademark is the whale tale funnel on top.
The Disney ship does not dock in Baltimore md. That carnival pride ships.
That was a carnival cruise ship
Makes no sense to me why engineer a bridge that high up when I probably cost lot less with a bride that open up for ship to vross
Because the chesapeake bay is an extremely busy and important shipping channel, meaning that the bridge would have to open up very often. This would make traffic a nightmare, (even though it is already) as the cars would have to wait for the ship to pass by. There is also only one feasible way of reaching the Delmarva Peninsula from Central Maryland other than the Bay Bridge, which would be taking I-95 north up to Delaware route 1, and then continuing south. This means this is a major chokepoint for traffic.
With the amount of traffic that crosses that bridge , especially in the summer, it would be impossible to have a drawbridge type of bridge.
Thank God you're not an engineer.
Not an engineer but his bride apparently likes him a WHOLE lot
