Now, this bridge, my friends, is a real stunner. It's like the Brad Pitt of bridges - all long, lean, and incredibly impressive.
QuickTip: Pause when something feels important.
But how long is it, you ask? Well, according to the trusty ol’ internet, it's a whopping 8,636 feet long. That's like walking from your couch to the fridge, but with a lot more traffic, tolls, and the risk of seagulls pooping on your car.
