The wooden bridge over a lake, Kuandinsky Bridge, Russia.




To cross the dilapidated Kuandinsky Bridge in the Trans-Baikal Region drivers must navigate a tiny 6ft-wide path with no railing or safety features to save them from toppling into the frozen water below.


To make matters worse, the old metal structure is covered with wooden planks, which can be slippery due to the frequent snow and ice.
olorun maje!!

The Seven Mile Bridge




Seven Mile Bridge, Florida is a 6.765-mile bridge that spans over the Atlantic Ocean in the Florida Keys.


So, if you hate bridges and are terrified of the ocean, this bridge is not for you.

Explorers:
The world's 'crookedest' street, Lombard Street, San Francisco




Nestled between buildings in San Francisco is a winding road that has been dubbed the world's 'crookedest' street.

About 2,000 vehicles travel each weekend day on the world famous scenic, hilly street in the city's Russian Hill neighbourhood during the busy tourist period.


It is known for its one-block stretch of winding red-brick road that consists of eight sharp, hairpin turns and has been featured on TV, in movies and even video games.


The zig-zag road has a speed limit of just 5mph so drivers have to take the winding road at a snail pace.
Hmm there's a road like this in GTA San Andreas and I think its in San Francisco as well,wow,it might actually be this road oo

Explorers:
The optical illusion road, The Storseisundet Bridge Atlantic Road, Norway.



It's enough to make even the most fool-hardy of motorists turn their car around.


But this apparent road to nowhere is merely an optical illusion dubbed 'the drunken bridge'.


Situated on the west coast of Norway on the Atlantic Road, the Storseisundet Bridge is so dramatically shaped it has featured in television adverts.


It sits on the five-mile long road which was constructed in 2005 and has become hugely popular with tourists.
The structural and Geotechnical Engineers that did the calculations of the loads, type of of foundation, wind pressure, etc must have had nightmares designing this bridge from the scratch. This is just impressed.
Engineering is beautiful.

Explorers:
The winding Stelvio Pass, Italy



With 180 degree bends and low barriers, Stelvio Pass in Italy is not one ofthe easiest drives.


But it might be one of the most scenic, as the winding route is located 9,045ft up in the Alps, offering breathtaking views.


In icy conditions you may want to drive carefully around its 48 hairpin turns.
This road was featured in the "Italian Job video game". Great work Explorers.

But eb.... some countries have really gone far o, vast knowledge and alot of hardwork have been put into every single one of these roads.

Nigerian Engineers, one quick question, what world class engineering feat have you guys achieved?



Engineers by theory not by practical. undecided

Ive never been there, but i heard something like that.


I think it's possible because of the location/elevation.

Explorers:
The world's longest road tunnel, Laerdal Tunnel, Norway.



Those who have a phobia of being underground should probably find an alternative route to the Laerdal Tunnel in Norway, which remains covered for a whopping 15.2 miles.


The road connects Lærdal and Aurland, and travels through mountains that reach nearly 6,000ft in height.

The vast tunnel was not cheap to build and cost around $113.1million (£78.5million) to bring to fruition, but sought to address the issues heavy snowfalls caused to Norwegian commuters.

That is about 45 billion Naira tops. Yet Nigerian leaders will use 80 billion Naira and cannot construct 50 km of open road. Corruption
