Do these directions avoid the big bridges that go over huge bodies of water? I'm too scared to go on those things and I can't even read this stuff right. Thanks!!!|||Wow, this was a challenge. I finally figured that you're going to Assateague Park in Maryland, maybe coming from the Reading area. On US13S, after getting past the Newark area, there's a bridge that gets a bit high over a very narrow canal. This wouldn't be a problem for you. The other bridge is on the last minutes of your trip to Assateague. It's the one that takes you right onto Assateague Island. It doesn't get high at all, but there's a good chunk of water. It's less than 1/2 mile long.





Google Maps has a great feature called street-level view. You can actually see these bridges as if you were really driving over them.





So punch in your route on Google Maps. It should show you the same route as the one you found on Mapquest. Then zoom in real close onto the bridge just before Assateague Island. Then take a look on the zoom bar (in the upper left corner) and you'll see a little yellow person. Grab the little yellow person with your mouse and drag it right on top of the bridge. A photo will pop up on your screen. It's the bridge you'll have to cross. You can swivel the photo back and forth and actually "drive" along the whole bridge in you want. No doubt you'll think this bridge is easy too.|||Mapquest gives you the quickest route and usually directs you to highways and interstates rather than back roads. Try google maps or yahoo maps and see if you get any different results. Also they usually show the route highlighted on the map which should show you if it avoids bridges or bodies of water.
