Cross that bridge

We gave you this assignment: name a bridge (outside of the USA) that, for whatever reasons, is exciting to cross. Tell where it is (and, if necessary, how to find it) and approximately when you were there. Did you cross it on foot? By car? By train? Include your impressions.

Since this scenario comes up often, ITN asked readers for tips on renting a car — what to look for in the contract, what questions to ask, what to do before driving away and upon return, etc. Here are responses.
