- Gephyrophobia is the anxiety disorder or specific phobia characterized by the fear of bridges and tunnels. As a result, sufferers of gephyrophobia may avoid routes that will take them over bridges, or if they are a passenger, will act very apprehensively when passing over a bridge. The term gephyrophobia comes from the Greek γέφυρα (gephura), meaning "bridge", and φόβος (phobos), meaning "fear". Some possible manifestations of gephyrophobia may be fear of driving off the bridge, fear of a gust of wind blowing one off the bridge, or fear that the bridge will collapse when crossing it (e.g., fear that the bridge lacks structural integrity). The fear overlaps with acrophobia (the fear of heights) as gephyrophobia tends to be exacerbated in taller bridges as compared to those closer to the water or ground beneath. Dr. Michael Liebowitz, founder of the Anxiety Disorders Clinic at the New York State Psychiatric Institute, says, "It's not an isolated phobia, but usually part of a larger constellation ... It's people who get panic attacks. You get light-headed, dizzy; your heart races. You become afraid that you'll feel trapped." It is a situational phobia. As of 2008, the New York State Thruway Authority would lead gephyrophobiacs over the Tappan Zee Bridge. A driver could call the authority in advance and arrange for someone to drive their car over the bridge for them. The authority performed the service about six times a year. The Maryland Transportation Authority previously offered a similar service for crossing the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, but that role is now filled by private companies. The Mackinac Bridge Authority, which oversees the Mackinac Bridge connecting Michigan's Upper and Lower peninsulas, will drive needy gephyrophobiacs' cars across the bridge for a nominal fee. Some one thousand drivers take advantage of this program annually. Leslie Ann Pluhar had her Yugo blown off the bridge in 1989. Later investigation concluded she had stopped her car over the open steel grating on the bridge's span and that a gust of wind blowing through the grating pushed her vehicle off the bridge, but this assertion is not supported by recorded wind speed measurements taken on and around the bridge at the time of the accident.

- La gefirofobia (del griego γέφυρα ‘puente’ y φόβος ‘miedo’) es el miedo irracional a cruzar puentes o viaductos. Las personas con gefirofobia se sienten incómodas al atravesar puentes o viaductos, y a menudo se niegan a atravesarlos, usando vías alternativas en su lugar. Algunas veces la gefirofobia asume un cuadro más complejo, extendiéndose al miedo a cualquier superficie elevada, en cuyo caso se define como acrofobia, o miedo a las alturas. (es)
- La géphyrophobie (du grec ancien ἡ γέφυρα, -ας = pont) est un trouble anxieux caractérisé par la peur des ponts (ou de traverser les ponts). Par conséquent, les individus souffrant de géphyrophobie tentent d'éviter les chemins qui passent par des ponts. Aux États-Unis, la (en) propose de conduire les géphyrophobes à travers le pont Tappan Zee (4 881 m) à leur place. Elle intervient en moyenne six fois par an. La (en) (direction des transports pour l'État de Maryland) offre un service similaire pour la traversée du pont de la baie de Chesapeake (6 946 m), de même que le concessionnaire du pont Mackinac (8 038 m) qui traverse le détroit éponyme dans le Michigan.

- Gefyrofobia (gr. γέφυρα most) jest to fobia związana ze strachem przed mostami. Z powodu strachu oraz paniki wywołanej strachem przed mostami, chorzy na gefyrofobię starają się unikać dróg, które mogą prowadzić przez mosty. Osoby z gefyrofobią podczas przejazdu przez most mają podobne objawy jak chorzy na lęk wysokości. (pl)

Pessoas com gefirofobia sentem-se desconfortáveis ao atravessar pontes ou viadutos, e freqüentemente relutam em fazer a travessia, procurando caminhos alternativos para tal. Algumas vezes, a gefirofobia assume um quadro mais complexo se estendendo ao medo de qualquer superfície elevada, sendo, neste caso, classificada como acrofobia, o medo de altura. (pt)
- Гефирофобия (с греч. γέφυρα — «мост» и φόβος — «фобия») — психическое расстройство, вызванное страхом перед мостом. Является разновидностью акрофобии (батеофобии). Страдающим данной фобией кажется, что мост взорвется или разломится пополам. Они стараются найти путь в обход мостов. Существует версия, что данный страх возникает на почве боязни высоты. (ru)
