gephyrophobia

gephyrophobia - n., an inordinate fear of bridges, esp. of crossing over them.


Gephyrophobiacs usually have larger anxiety disorders, of which this is one facet, and will plan their travel routes to avoid bridges as much as possible. Coined from Greek roots gephyra, bridge + phobos, fear.
