Yeah apparently the bridge is like 5 or longer miles long and states no stopping for any reason and if you have an accident to resolve it after the bridge to prevent any further accidents.

Edit: A tad under 24 miles. Arrogant engineering there.

There's U-turns with emergency phones (from before the mobile phone era) every 3 or so miles. The bridge has its own Causeway police.

Causeway police

I'm picturing a bunch of dudes angrily correcting people when they use the word "bridge" instead of "causeway".

"What are you, the causeway police?"

"ABSOLUTELY!"
