But I would drive on it for sure!
It's not in the least excessive as this bridge cuts down driving time by an hour and rids the valley and the villages in it of a lot of transit traffic. The off-side is, that some small businesses like bed&breakfasts, gas-stations, convenience stores, etc are hit hard by the traffic now passing by 800 feet above their heads.
And you mustn't forget that here in Europe we don't have as much space as you, so we have to try and make the best of it.
Thanks for those links, Dan. There are some great pics there. Of course they just further confirm my thought that I would need some pretty good medication to get myself on it (as a passenger, not the driver, of course!).
I'd drive over it no problem. Bridges don't scare me at all. However you'd have to force me at gunpoint to go on any roller coaster scarier than Thunder Mountain Railway.
