Is this the bridge? If so, it's two lanes each way and that sidewalk looks TINY. No way in h e l l would I bother riding on it with so little margin for error between falling into traffic or into the causeway I'd walk the long walk if I didn't want to ride in the traffic lanes.

I'll post this not only to chap randya's hide but also because this is how I would ride this bridge: take the lane, take the lane, take the lane. Centerish to possibly left tire track depending on how busy things are. There's a whole wide open passing lane for everyone who can't wait to sit in traffic on the island. The whole bridge surface appears to be blacktop or concrete so there's no worries about steel deck grating that gives some cyclists fits. Riding a bridge like this is no less safe than riding an arterial road with a high curb and in fact, I'd wager that it's safer as you have no possible threats from either side and about the best sightlines for passing traffic that you'll ever encounter. Looks like a great bike ride to me
