getting to ocean city without crossing bridge

Travelling from Tyson's corner, is there a route that we can skip driving over the bridge as I am scared of heights

You can have the bridge staff drive your car over for you. They do it safely every day and you can close your eyes.

Go north to Wilmington, DE and come south (bridge or tunnel in Baltimore). Go south to Norfolk, and come up the ESVA.

Agreed. Otherwise you have to drive all the way up to Delware and then come down the peninsula, which will make the drive much longer.

Should note it’s not the actual bridge staff that does it, it’s a for-pay service through a private company, I think it costs $30.

Wow, learn something new every day. Is this a service specifically for people who feel uncomfortable driving on the bridge? Never heard of that before, here or anywhere else.

Answered my own question: yes

Bridge phobia is one of the most common around. I have a friend who routinely hires someone to drive her car over bridges -- even short ones.

My senior citizen mom has the bridge staff drive her car (she said it was the NJ state police, not sure though) across the Del Mem bridge a few years ago.

I drive white knuckled in the middle lane when crossing the bridge and that's only if I have to.

i don't have issues with driving over bridges, but I REALLY dislike the bay bridge. It REALLY scares me in a way that has never happened on any other bridge. I drove once over it in the dark, though...and it was SO SO SO much better; it didi'nt phase me at all. (my issue is, i think, being able to see how long and twisty it is) If that is at all possible for you, I would highly recommend it.

Me too. I feel like I am going to pass out especially with screaming kids in the car.

Swim across the bay - easy peasy.

Or you could drive to Virginia Beach and take the bridge-tunnel. Now THAT is a freak show. In bad weather it feels like you are driving straight into the ocean
