Scary Bridges In The World

By Rusty McMillan



Bridges are supposed to be creating a link between two far off places to help people and animals commute easily. But some people in different parts of the world created the bridges though out of necessity but they turned to be the scary bridges. What makes the bridges worldwide scary? The bridge may be centuries old and in a dilapidated condition, or the material used is not appropriate for bearing the load. But whatever be the reason, the fact is that people continue to use them sometimes on daily basis by putting their lives at risk.

The scary bridges are there in various countries like Pakistan, Malaysia, Nepal, India, Philippines and many more. If you are scared of heights, I am sure that these will continue to haunt you in your sleeps for days to come. But if you love thrill in your life, these outrageous and incredible scary bridges may be helpful. Some of these bridges are sky high vehicular bridges, super high suspension bridges, hanging bridges and creepy rope bridges.

The most dangerous of all is the Hussaini- Borit Lake Bridge in Pakistan. What makes it one of the scary bridges is that it is too old, extremely narrow and moreover the wooden planks are missing. But the people still use it on a regular basis. It may be a thrill for some but it is surely dangerous. It has continued to be regularly visited by the tourists worldwide as the panoramic view is breathtaking.

The Taman Negara National Park Bridge in Malaysia is considered to be world's largest canopy walkway. The unstable hanging rope bridge is made of mere netting, ropes, planks and few ladders 500 meters long that connect via trees. This bridges shakes as visitors walk from post to post taking photos. This is a very scary bridge as it sits at 50 meters above the ground enough to scare. The hanging bridge of Ghasa, Nepal made out of necessity to lower down the congestion between the towns is another to be added in the list of scary bridges. The height though unknown is enough to injure or kill any creature who takes on the path.

Japan's Scariest Suspension bridge, the Musou Tsuribashi Bridge is perhaps the oldest and the narrowest bridge in Japan. This makes it clear why this bridge is one of the scary bridges in the world. Far from the hustle and bustle of this city, this bridge might look to be an exciting advent, but beware. If you get injured walking past this bridge, nobody might turn out to help.

Reading about the scary bridges in the world might give you a spinning chill but they are there regularly taken up by people for commuting.
