or are you going to continue on in blissful ignorance?

no. ignorance is bliss.
you most likely have a better chance of getting killed in an accident than a bridge collapsing.

There's no reason for anyone to be concerned. Just about everyone drives across a bridge of some sort every day. In North America that's at least 350-400 million people on a bridge somewhere everyday. The odds that you would be on a bridge when anything like that happens is so astronomically low, there are much better odds that you get into a regular car accident.

No. I fly and go in skyscrapers since 9/11, too. It's irrational to be afraid of something you can't control and something that has such a miniscule chance of ever happening to you.
I also remove the "do not remove under penalty of law" tags from furniture. You have a much greater chance of dying while driving to the grocery store than being in a bridge collapse.

I will continue to drive on bridges. I have been doing so, not in blissful ignorance, as you suggest, but with the knowledge that the odds of me being on the bridge when it fails are low. Same as why I fly. Some crash, but I'm betting mine won't.
I probably have more to fear on the roads from other drivers than I do from falling bridges.

Actually, I prefer option #3... I know it's there but I don't want to think about it, so I'm going to cross anyway.
