Why does this bridge look scary?

Because the sun is directly overhead, making the underside dark (if it was at an angle, the sun would shine underneath).
Clinched, minus I-93 (I'm missing a few miles and my file is incorrect)

Traveled, plus US 13, 44, and 50, and several state routes

I will be in Burlington VT for the eclipse.

It's not, in fact it would be in the running for most generic looking bridge ever.

There's no tubes in the middle.

Anyways, yeah sounds like you need to get away from all this freeway and limited access jazz if you think that bridge is scary.  It's kind of hard to not roll my eyes when I know stuff like this is normal in my part of the world:

I didn't see any trolls hiding under the bridge, so nope, not scary.

Though without piers, the bridge is not without peers in NC (ran across this one yesterday)...

The bridges over I-39 south of I-80 in Illinois have no medial piers.

Here's a bridge that actually looks scary


That one has made the rounds in road groups for years.  Cool sight line but nothing super exciting nor scary about the structure.

I-70 in the Rockies is about as steep. This just looks scary because it stands out so much more than a road in a mountain pass does. Looking at it from the side, it is completely normal.
I build roads on Minecraft. Like, really good roads.

Trolls are a good addition to any bridge.
