This bridge looks pretty sketchy. The bridge is an old train bridge that crosses the Vitim river. There aren’t any barriers and many of its rotting wooden planks are missing.
To make matters worse, the structure is often slippery due to ice in the area, leaving drivers to dangerously navigate this narrow six-foot-wide path at their own risk. Not many people have crossed this rattly bridge with success but many daredevils flock to Siberia every year to try.
Langkawi Sky Bridge, Malaysia
This bridge is 400 feet above the ground and has been closed several times for maintenance purposes. Its reopening was delayed several times but it is now open for use.
Although I still find it freaky that the bridge was closed for two years. Apparently, as was the rumor in Langkawi, the bridge can potentially collapse.
Mount Titlis, Switzerland
How would you feel walking across a bridge at 3,000 meters above the ground with a backdrop of the Swiss Alps? Terrified? Well, that sounds about right! The Titlis Cliff Walk, which is the highest elevation suspension bridge in Europe, opened in December 2012, giving views across the Alps.
Luckily, the bridge is super safe and tons of skiers and visitors cross the bridge every year.
Puente de Ojuela, Mexico
Once used by the mining town below, today the bridge is for pedestrians.
It was completed in 1898 and restored as a tourist attraction in 1991. Tourists flock to this bridge because of its reputation as being one of the most dangerous roads in the world.
Quepos Bridge, Costa Rica
Also known as the “Bridge of Death,” or “Oh My God bridge” this bridge is one to be crossed at your own risk. The bridge was constructed by the Bananera Company from 1930-1940 for the train that moved bananas to the port of Quepos.
While it doesn’t look like it could even support the weight of a car, trucks actually cross it on a daily basis, and somehow they survive. The bridge is extremely narrow and allows cars to travel only in one direction. The planks don’t run across the entire bridge and clank loudly under the weight of vehicles. We think it’s time for some renovation.
