What Is Gephyrophobia?

Gephyrophobia (from Greek words “gephyra“, bridge and “phobos“, fear) is an abnormal, irrational and persistent fear of bridges, especially crossing bridges. Sufferers of gephyrophobia experience undue anxiety even though they realize their fear is irrational. As a result, sufferers of gephyrophobia may avoid routes that will take them over bridges.
