Here's plenty of bridges in the world but which bridge is
the absolute scariest and most dangerous we'll let you decide today we're
looking at the scariest bridges around the world.
15. KUANDINSKY
BRIDGE
the Kuandinsky Bridge was built about three decades ago
as an addition to the Bacala Muir railway the railway was unfortunately never
finished so now the abandoned train tracks are being used as a bridge for cars
to get to the other side of the frozen river the big kicker here is that this
rickety bridge doesn't even have a railing and is constantly coated in ice and
snow making it incredibly dangerous to cross the pathway is only six feet wide
that's only about a foot or so bigger than the average SUV the bridge is also
made of rotting extremely old wood and is constantly falling apart so it's not
uncommon for drivers to get out of their cars to fix holes and loose panels in
order to cross you'll also see drivers rolling down all their windows in order
to prevent sweeping winds from knocking them off the 1870 foot long track
despite the sketchiness of this bridge there actually haven't been any
accidents or fatalities associated with it we say it's because of the cool
steady nature of the Russian people nerves of steel I tell you the vine bridges
of I Evalia pan originally built in the 12th century during the gem pie war.
14. VINE BRIDGE
the vine bridges
of I Evalia exactly what they sound like a huge bridge made of Mountain vine
swinging over the babbling jungle River it sounds like something straight out
of Jumanji but we promise this is not a work of fiction it is believed that the
bridge was first built by the Heike clan who took refuge in the iya Valley
after their defeat in 1185 during the jhen pie war this bridge is ancient and
we're super surprised it's still holding up the bridge was meant to protect the
Heike from enemy attacks and if anything happened they could just cut the vines
and send their enemies to their deaths in the river below the bridge gets
rebuilt every three years or so and now features steel cables amongst the vines
as well as more planks to walk on the original bridge had 12-inch gaps between
each plank nowadays you can see tourists braving the bridge and in the scenery
of the iya Valley just.
13. GLASS SKYWALK BRIDGE
don't look down Glass Skywalk in time minh shan national
park china built about three years ago the glass-bottom bridge at time makan
National Park is definitely one to check out the bridge stretches to about 1,400 feet long 980 feet off the ground
and is about 6 meters
wide it's actually huge to give you an idea of how big it is the Grand Canyon
Skywalk is 69 feet
in length and stands about 718
feet into the air that's peanuts compared to this
behemoth the bridge was designed by Isreali architect Haim Doulton who also designed
Israel's Expo 2010 Pavilion so you know it's gonna be pretty sturdy Dolan says
that the bridge will be used as a runway for fashion shows down the line and
will be able to hold up to 800 people the bridge also features the world's
highest bungee jump allowing tourists to dive off the mammoth bridge into the
valley below it's a glass bridge of epic proportions we just hope it doesn't
shatter.
12. ESHIMA OHASHI BRIDGE
Eshima Ohashi
bridge in Japan via Shima Ohashi bridge
is hilly to say the least it was originally built in this steep incline to
allow ships to pass under the bridge the bridge links the city's mat-su and
Sakia monado in an upturned roller coaster like v-shape easily comparable to a
waterslide the concrete bridge spans around one mile long and is about 11 meters wide allowing
plenty of room for cars to cross thousands of vehicles pass this bridge every
day the bridge was even featured in Daihatsu motors commercial to prove the
durability and speed of their minivan I guess that's just how intense this
bridge is it's like the ultimate test and vehicle performance next time skip
your annual trip to the theme park and take a ride on the Ashima ohashi bridge.
11. HUSSAINI HANGING BRIGDE
Hussaini Hanging bridge in Pakistan the Hussaini Hanging
bridge is like the definition of rickety the bridge barely even looks finished
with cable spring and planks all ships the bridge connects to neighboring
villages over the board lake and at a glance looks mighty scary but those who
cross it don't seem to be bothered due to the bridge being named after a
popular figure Shastra of Hazrat Imam Husain they believe that he's protecting
them as they cross we on the other hand think they're just straight-up deranged
for even considering setting foot on this rickety nightmare it's considered to
be the oldest and most terrifying bridge in the country with people from all
over the world flocking to the who siani to take pictures of themselves on what
looks like a glorified craft project the area locals will cross the bridge like
it isn’t no thing carrying huge packs on their back choosing to risk their
lives as opposed to walking around the mountain wasting two hours of their busy
work day the spirit of Shara must be really working.
10. SUSPENSION GLASS BRIDGE
Suspension Glass
bridge and she knew Zoo National Park in China what's with China and glass
bottom walkways this impressive footbridge is about 872 feet long 6.5 feet wide and hangs
over the beautiful scenery of she new zoo National Park though it's not as high
as the one in Taemin Shan national park it features something that puts it on a
whole other category of scary in the last few meters of the bridge a cracking
effect gets ignited under the tourists feet it's simply a special effect but
the majority of people run for their lives during the last bit of the path
making for a truly unforgettable experience the tour guides think it's funny
the tourists not so much.
09. LONGJIANG SUSPENSION BRIDGE
Longjiang Suspension bridge in boa Shan city China
there's something just so inexplicably scary about suspension bridges I mean
they're held up by ropes basically so that's sketchy the long Jiang suspension
bridge is billed as being the longest and tallest bridge of its kind spanning 3,900 feet making it
only slightly shorter than the famous Golden Gate Bridge it was built with the
intention to cut off half an hour of travel for motorists going between boa
Shan and tan Chong the Chinese government paid a hundred and fifty million
dollars to complete construction on the bridge and now you can see cars
whizzing by nine hundred and twenty feet above the valley.
08. TITLIS CLIF WALK BRIDGE
Titlis Clif Walk in the Swiss Alps bridges are fine and dandy
when they're in a warm jungle or sunny Valley but what about a bridge that's 1500 feet above a glacier
in the Swiss Alps the Titlis Clif Walk is a footbridge that hangs about 9,000 feet above sea
level which is super-high in any bridge standard the path is about 330 feet long only three
feet wide and made of industrial grade steel making the handrail very cold to
the touch upon opening a snowstorm blurred the view beneath the bridge making
the walkers feel like they're walking over a cloud of some sort which would
have been either super cool or super scary the bridge is meant to attract
tourists who want to take in the snowy mountain scenery without busting out the
skis all we know is that if we were crossing that bridge our mittens would be
totally glued to that ice-cold handrail.
07. AIUGRLLE DU MIDI BRIDGE
Aiugille Du Midi Rhone Alps France the French are known
for their fine wine and romance but did you know that the Rhone Alps and France
is home to one of the highest running cable cars in the world so not exactly a
bridge but you could say that the my cable cars are like a moving bridge taking
tourists across a 1200
foot drop above the mountain landscape of the French
Alps you also have the option of stepping out into a glass cage that hovers
over the mountain edge as well as a short foot bridge that spans across two of
its spires it's the kind of journey that's only suited for the most daring of
Daredevils.
06. CONFEREDATION BRIDGE
The Conferedation
bridge of Canada if you're a Canadian you've definitely heard of the Conferedation
bridge an 8 mile
long bridge that connects the provinces of Prince Edward Island and New
Brunswick the bridge is considered to be the longest in the world requiring
about four years of labor from over 5,000 workers to complete the construction
we wouldn't necessarily call this bridge scary due to its refined structure and
solidity we would consider it though to be one of the most impressive bridges
in the world.
05. TRIFT BRIDGE IN SWITZERLAND
the Trift bridge
of Switzerland another bridge over the Swiss Alps except this one is hanging in
midair I'm getting scared already the bridge was built in 2004 as a response to
the rapidly melting glaciers the once massive glaciers were no longer high
enough to take visitors to the main hunt so the Trift bridge was born the
bridge is modeled after Nepalese style three rope bridges so it's not super
sturdy but it gets the job done spanning to almost 600 feet long and hanging
about 350 feet
off the ground the swinging bridge is not for the faint of heart the path
itself is only wide enough for one body to pass at a time and the ropes don't
feel like the most sturdy thing in the world to be holding up a bridge and
freezing cold climate like the Alps.
04. CARRICKAREDE ROPE BRIDGE
Carrickarede rope bridge in Northern Ireland Ireland is a
magical place so it's no wonder it's also home to a mystical looking rope
bridge that looks like it's straight out of a fairy tale this special bridge
connects the mainland of Northern Ireland to the tiny island of curry curried
it's a wee bridge spanning only 66
feet and hanging about a hundred feet above the rocky
shore below the bridge literally looks like it's hanging by a thread the pathway
is made up of thin twine and wood and the structure itself is held up by basic
rope it doesn't get much more medieval than this you definitely feel like an
explorer from a storybook when you cross this one Rumpelstiltskin is that you.
03. CAPILANO SUSPENSION BRIDGE
Capilano
Suspension Bridge in Vancouver Canada the beautiful nature ridden city of
Capilano which means beautiful River and object one of the most magnificent
suspension bridges in the world built in 1889 the capilano suspension bridge stretches
over 450 feet
long and 230 feet
above the Capilano River some people say that it can hold the weight of 98
full-grown elephants which is actually really comforting to know considering
how high up it goes the view from the bridge is absolutely beautiful people
from all around the world to come to Capilano to walk across its most iconic
bridge.
02. LANGKAWI SKY BRIDGE
Langkawi Sky bridge
in mount matsing Kong Malaysia the Langkawi Sky bridge is super super high up 328 feet to be exact what
makes this bridge special is that it's curved like a crescent moon giving the
walkers a unique panoramic view of the surrounding scenery the bridge spans
about 410 feet
in length which is pretty long if you ask us the construction of the bridge was
complicated due to its curved nature it actually had to be built on the ground
and then airlifted by a helicopter because it was just too difficult to build
the curved on sight people from all around the world to come to visit the
famous Langkawi Sky bridge and pay big bucks to see the best view in all of Malaysia.
01. PUENTE DE
OJUALA BRIDGE
Puente De Ojuala Mexico the Osceola bridge is an iconic
landmark in the city of mabini Mexico it was erected back in 1898 and still
stands today as a tourist attraction it's crazy long for a footbridge spanning
almost 400 feet
and the construction truly evokes memories of the beginning phases of the
industrial revolution lots of old wood and rusty steel the bridge hangs high
over the hoja well um I feel giving the walkers a great view of the historic
sights of Murphy me so there you have it 15 Hyde hitting bridges that make the
Golden Gate look like a cakewalk.
