As long as you’re always being careful, driving is generally a pretty dull, everyday thing. You go to work, you come home.

But all the way over in Japan, they do things a little differently, and when you see what some commuters have to go through every day, your palms will start to sweat.

The Eshima Ohashi bridge is one mile long and connects the cities of Matsue and Sakaiminato in Japan. At first glance, it really looks like any other bridge.

But then it turns into what only can be described as a roller coaster with real cars on it. This is an actual road that actual people have to drive on daily.

The slope is supposedly safe to all drivers, but that doesn’t mean that it isn’t terrifying. The bridge is designed like this because it needs to be tall enough to let large ships underneath.

I love engineering

All i see is technology in display. Great design.

Car Brake must be strong or else.

60% or more cars in Nigeria can never ride through the bridge.

Engineering at its best.

Sound Engineering

I'd like to see the side view of the steep side

I wonder when we go see "architectural wonder" for this Nigeria.

Google is your friend....nothing like Photoshop there

Wow

Eyes go jst dey turn me for inside d car

Mtchew. What's scary there? I dey drive one wey pass that.... Well.. In my dream

Amazing

perhaps dey r trying to prep for any seismic activity ... I just love this pipu..
the unreligious, yet dey do wonders.. naija , food for thought

Sound engineering my yansh!

Dey could av made it "C" shaped to cut d slope.

So if a brake fails wat will happen?

I guess dey were trying to cut cost.

Btw some people's health might not find such slopes palatable.

Except dey have other routes;

Regardless

dat's not sound engineering.

Odikwa very RISKY .

Prep for seismic activity? Lol

Most cars that ply japan roads are sound and ok. This bridge can't work in Nigeria. Tokunbo cars will hook halfway

This is only possible in countries where there are good Vehicles not these expired "vehicles" aka 'Mobile Irons' plying our roads.

Accidents are claiming countless lives annually on flat roads talk much of this kinds....#DailySuicide

until Nigeria/Nigerian start telling their selfs the truth.apart from that you gat no were

Buhari should visit this place

ofcos na, I saw a video wia dey tryna build earthquake resistant bridge..
Japan has a long history of earthquake and seismic activities .. so yea seism yes

This is simply


















dangerous!

Benefits of engineering

Good one

The first pix is the scary one but its better on a closer look
