One Tank of Gas
This two lane bridge connects Escambia County FL with Baldwin County AL on Highway 98 and represents the far Western edge of the State of Florida.
The narrow concrete span crosses over Perdido Bay and is typical of the bridges built in the past 30 years.

Yes, I took this from my car. Not the best photo, but the shoulder of this bridge is narrow and I didn't want to get out in the lanes. -
Looking back towards Lillian. -
Approaching the FL side of the bridge. The emergency lanes didn't used to be part of this kind of bridge, but now there is enough room to pull over a stalled car and even to change a flat. Formerly, a stalled car was a real traffic hazard because it blocked lanes.
