I wonder if it will be like the Mackinac Bridge in Northern Michigan where
people just freeze when they have to drive over it. "Each year hundreds of
drivers suffering from agoraphobia (fear of high places) seek help from
bridge personnel to drive their vehicles over the bridge for them". Some of
them hide in the rear with a blanket over their heads!

Agoraphobia is the fear of open spaces, not high places.
