Question: Does Any Local Bridge Worry You?

Larry McCormack/The Tennessean, AP

Tennessee Department of Transportation bridge inspectors look under the Victory Memorial Bridge during a press conference announcing the condition of the state's bridges today in Nashville, Tenn.

OrangeTV: This news horrifies me on several levels. Obviously, I feel terrible for the victims involved, but also it's because it is one of my worst subconscious fears come to life. Every time I drive over the long bridge into Sandpoint or over into Seattle, I think "What if it just collapsed underneath us..." I can't even imagine the horror.

Question: Is there any Inland Northwest bridge that worries you?
