So, as nearly 50 million Americans prepare to head home after Thanksgiving, it’s important to know where you should take extra precautions to ensure you arrive safely.Colorado’s Million Dollar Highway offers some of the most breathtaking views in the country, but it’s not for the faint of heart. Winding through Red Mountain Pass in the San Juan Mountains, the Million Dollar Highway climbs 11,000 feet above sea level and has cliffs and hairpin turns.
The Million Dollar Highway is officially known as US Route 550, but according to local legend, it got its name after a woman said she would have to be paid $1 million to drive it again. AAA says when you mix in some of Colorado’s harsh weather, the Million Dollar Highway is one of the most dangerous roads in America, according to a AAA says Florida doesn’t have a ban on using a handheld cell phone while driving, and
looked into deaths on US Route 1 between 2015 and 2019 and found Florida’s section of the highway is one of the deadliest roads in America.The south end of the highway, known as the Overseas Highway, connects Miami to the Florida Keys and consists of miles of bridges many people find unnerving, according to AAA.Paul Harris/Getty ImagesThe Lake Pontchartrain Causeway in Louisiana holds the Guinness World Record for the longest bridge over water at 24 miles long.
