Over The Rainbow Bridge (Tallest in Texas)

I ride the Piaggio MP3 500 over the tallest and steepest cantilever bridge in Texas, the Rainbow Bridge (177 ft.), from Bridge City to Port Arthur, ending at Esther's (which has been closed since Hurricane Ike of 2008). The northbound bridge, slightly shorter at 143 ft., is the Veterans Memorial Bridge.

This bridge scares the living shit out of me. I've been to the resturant under it though! I must say it was worth me being terrified! :)

Unfortunately, Esther's has been (permanently) closed since the hurricanes of 2005 and 2008. It's sad.

i thought the rainbow bridge was the left one?

@CurtJames93 Veteran's to the east, Rainbow to the west. To go over the Rainbow Bridge, you would have to be going southbound.  It was in the afternoon, as you can see, sun was to my right.

Like to; but so much trouble w/copyright. YT will mute you, so I go for the realism, as is. Just turn down the sound a bit if it becomes a prob. :)
