The Most Dangerous Bridges In The Entire World
Ahmedabad: Bridges are important to get you from one area to another over a body of water. However, they aren’t all as safe as you want to believe. Some of them should be approached with plenty of caution or even not used at all. Just in the United States alone, one of 10 bridges is considered to be “structurally deficient.” That means there are issues, and it’s not very safe to use.
The Royal Gorge Bridge in Colorado
Colorado is home to a fun amusement park at the edge of Royal Gorge, but you can also get a thrill from the Royal Gorge Bridge. It stands at 959 feet over the Arkansas River and is the highest known suspension bridge in the US.
Trift Bridge in Switzerland
The Trift bridge spans 600 feet and is a pedestrian-only suspension bridge. The views are amazing, but it can get freaky when the wind blows. Plus, it stands 328 feet high and required more stabilization in 2009.
The Sunshine Skyway Bridge in Florida
Florida is known for being surrounded by water, and there are over 4,000 islands. Therefore, there must be plenty of bridges, but the Sunshine Skyway Bridge is quite scary, as it’s over 4 miles long.
Lake Pontchartrain Causeway in Louisiana
The Lake Pontchartrain Causeway connects Mandeville and Metairie, and you’re committed once you start. It’s about 24 miles long, and there’s nothing but water around you. Make sure you’ve got plenty of fuel and use the restroom before you start crossing.
Puente de Ojuela in Mexico
While there are beautiful oceans in the area, Mexico is also home to a scary suspension bridge called Puente de Ojuela. It was built in the 1800s and spans a huge gorge. It’s now a tourist attraction for people who want the thrill.
Kawarau Bridge in New Zealand
The Kawarau Gorge Bridge was constructed in the 1800s and is necessary to get across the Kawarau River. You’re suspended about 141 feet in the air, but you could also try bungee jumping off it if you are not too scared.
