EJIMA BRIDGE

In Japan is located the most frightening bridge in the world: judging by the pictures, it seems that those who have designed wanted to defy the force of gravity. We speak of the Ejima bridge, which combines the city of Sakaiminato and Matsue in Japan, the two cities are located on opposite sides of Lake Nakaumi.

A bridge rather than a work road, seems part of an roller coaster in a theme park . The steepness is not only due to an optical effect, but it is real, as you can guess from the photographs that portray this.

Eh


**I'm hoping dis will be my first ftc

The bridge, which connects the cities of Matsue and Sakaiminato, appears to go straight into the sky and suddenly drop off. Built high so that fishing boats can pass underneath, the structure fortunately isn't quite as steep as it looks. Nearly a mile long, the bridge has a gradient of 6.1 percent on one side and 5.1 percent on the other, according to Yahoo. Cars gradually ascend, making it less scary for drivers than the bridge appears when photos are taken from a straight-on angle. In pictures, Eshima Ohashi definitely earns its "roller coaster bridge" nickname. All we know is we'd hate to get in a traffic jam at the top.

This bridge, the Eshima Ohashi bridge, is definitely unique. As you probably already noticed, the bridge has a steep incline on both sides, and if you were to use a less technical description, you’d say that it looks like rollercoasters as opposed to a bridge. It was designed this way not just to be the largest rigid frame bridge in Japan, (and third largest in the world), but because the river which it sits upon is used heavily by boats and other ships.
The bridge is forty-four metres tall, and the incline is very steep at 5.1 percent on one side and 6.1 percent on the other side. This makes it one of the most ingenious bridges in the world in terms of its architectural design, but also one of the most frightening to look at, as we sure you will agree!
