Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

Thanks for the endorsement, but I wouldn't let a narrow bridge intimidate me. Thses are often at critical points where the options for avoidance are very limited.

We have a similar bridge here, with an open steel deck to boot. It's well signed, "Caution, Narrow Bridge" and I've never had a problem with an impatient driver or dangerous pass. BTW- this bridge is so narrow that cars going in opposite directions slow to 10-15mph to pass each other, and many drivers come to a stop if they have a truck coming the other way. Sometimes, narrower is actually safer than wide enough to inspire (false) confidence.
