10 Terrifying Bridges People Travel Over

There are bridges throughout every country where people and vehicles can cross massive gaps, whether they be rivers, gorges, or ravines. Some of these bridges, unfortunately, are quite dangerous for anyone to cross. Anyone afraid of heights should think twice before crossing over these wooden, metal, or glass spanning bridges, though. Here are ten terrifying bridges people use regularly, whether they are walking or driving across. We’d prefer not to use these whatsoever, though. Travel safe anyone who decides to risk one of the following!

1. Trift Bridge – Switzerland

The Trift Bridge in Switzerland spans a total of 170 meters and is known for being highly unstable. This probably due to construction only taking about 6 weeks to complete. The bridge is set in an area where high winds are constantly happening.

4
Hanging Bridge of Ghasa – Nepal

The Hanging Bridge of Ghasa appears ancient and abandoned, but is used to move herds of animals each day. Anyone who crosses the bridge should be prepared to share the tight space with quite a few animals.

5
Monkey Bridges – Vietnam

Made up of a single bamboo log, these unstable bridges feature an equally unstable handrail that only a monkey should cross. People still do, however, and some tumble over the edge.

6
Musou Tsuribashi – Japan

This is considered to be one of the most terrifying suspension bridges throughout Japan. At just over 50 years old, the bridge has been through a lot of wary weather, making it rickety and unsafe.

Estrada Puetro Suarez – Bolivia

This Bolivian bridge is a single-lane expanse that is both unstable and ridiculously long. Trains are constantly crossing, making it a problem to get across the bridge in enough time.

8
Volgograd Bridge – Russia

An entire concrete bridge spanning the entire length of the Volga River in Russia. During particular windy weather, the bridge will oscillate and can be closed to traffic of all kinds.

9
Quepos Bridge – Costa Rica

The Quepos Bridge has become quite known for being extremely narrow across. Cars can pass in one direction at one time, so the other side must wait their turn. The bridge shakes violently and groans loudly with each passing vehicle.
