Top 10 Most Dangerous Bridges In The World.
1. The Royal Gorge Bridge


The Royal Gorge Bridge in Colorado is the highest suspension bridge in the United States. That’s not the impressive part though.

What makes this bridge so interesting is that it didn’t have any wind cables when it was built in 1929. Those were added decades later, and today, the bridge is quite a tourist attraction.

2. The Monkey Bridges


The Monkey Bridges in Vietnam are a series of bridges that offer access across the Mekong Delta.

What makes these bridges so popular is that they are made from single pieces of bamboo. And how do you cross these types of bridge? Look at a monkey and do what they do.

3. Located in Pakistan


Located in Pakistan, the Hussaini Hanging Bridge is easily among the most dangerous bridges in the world.

The swinging bridge stretches across the Hunza river and is covered with all sorts of cracks. And to make matters worse, the tattered remnants of the old bridge hangs nearby.

4. The Seven Mile Bridge


The Seven Mile Bridge located in Florida is actually the second iteration of the original Seven Mile Bridge decommissioned years ago because it prevented boats to pass through.

Although it may appear safe, this particular bridge can be quite scary during one of Florida’s Hurricane seasons.

5. Deception Pass Bridge


Deception Pass Bridge is a Washington State bridge that connects two local islands. Prior to the construction of the bridge, these islands were only accessible via ferry.

Although the bridge itself looks safe, it is 180 feet high and quite intimidating.

6. The Pontchartrain Causeway


The Pontchartrain Causeway located in Pontchartrain, Louisiana is the longest bridge to cross over water in the world, even if it only stands 16 feet high.

What makes this bridge so scary, however, is that it’s actually possible to lose sight of land somewhere along the way, which makes some people feel as though they are traveling across a never ending bridge.

7. The Canopy Walk


The Canopy Walk, which is located in Ghana, is suspended 40 feet in the air and is around 1000 feet in length.

What makes this particular bridge interesting is that it involves walking through several trees, where visitors will encounter monkeys or even birds along the way.

8. The Langkawi Sky Bridge


The Langkawi Sky Bridge in Malaysia hovers over 400 feet from the ground. What makes this bridge so scary is that it was once closed due to rumors that it had the potential to collapse.

Although the bridge has been ascertained to be structurally safe, its bad reputation has not gone away.

9. The bridge over Mount Titlis


The bridge over Mount Titlis in Switzerland stretches above the Swiss Alps. It is approximately 3000 meters from the ground and is quite narrow.

Despite the extreme height, though, the bridge is considered as one of the safest in the world.

10. Sunshine Skyway Bridge


This relatively recent bridge in Florida was constructed in the 1980’s to replace an existing bridge that had been destroyed by a tanker collision.

Although the bridge itself is quite safe and secure, it has developed an infamous reputation over the years. It has become associated with numerous suicides, and there are rumors that it is haunted.
