1952 The parralel span was built in 1973 Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, was opened in 1964 :)
The Chesapeake Bay Bridge, located in Maryland, spans approximately 4.3 miles (about 6.9 kilometers) across the Chesapeake Bay. It connects the eastern and western shores of Maryland and is a key transportation route in the region. The bridge consists of two spans, with the original span completed in 1952 and an additional span added in 1973.
NO! There are no suicide barriers on the bridge. Also, the are no cameras on the highest span. They have cameras on the east side and west side but none in the center monitoring the highest peak.

span bridge
A bridge's span is the length that crosses the gap.
The life span of a Curly-Coated Retriever is 8 - 12 years.
The tallest bridge would be the I-278 crossing of the Verrazano Narrows in New York City -- the Verrazano Narows bridge. The double-decked span opened in 1964 and connects the borouhs of Staten Island and Brooklyn. It has a span of 4,260 feet and rises 224 feet above the water. That is a very large bridge however the highest interstate bridge in the United States is the Glade Creek bridge. This 2,179-foot (664 m) long deck truss bridge[3] towers 660 feet (200 m) above the creek bed, making it the highest Interstate bridge in the United States. And that's in West Virginia..!!
The span is the distance between supports. The sum of the span lengths is the bridge length.

I think you probably mean "bridge span" rather than "spam bridge." A bridge span is the part of the bridge between its supports.
