there's plenty of bridges in the world but which bridge is the absolute scariest and most dangerous we'll let you decide today we're looking at the scariest bridges around the world the Kwan dents Key Bridge in quando Russia the quand in ski bridge was built about three decades ago as an addition to the bacala muir railway the railway was unfortunately never finished so now the abandoned train tracks are being used as a bridge for cars to get to the other side of the frozen river the big kicker here is that this rickety bridge doesn't even have a railing and is constantly coated in ice and snow making it incredibly dangerous to cross the pathway is only six feet wide that's only about a foot or so bigger than the average SUV the bridge is also made of rotting extremely old wood and is constantly falling apart so it's not uncommon for drivers to get out of their cars to fix holes and loose panels in order to cross you'll also see drivers rolling down all their windows in order to prevent sweeping winds from knocking them off the 1870 footlong track despite the sketchiness of this bridge there actually haven't been any accidents or fatalities associated with it we say it's because of the cool steady nature of the Russian people nerves of steel I tell you the vine bridges of I Evalia pan originally built in the 12th century during the gem pie war the vine bridges of I Evalia exactly what they sound like a huge bridge made of Mountain vine swinging over the babbling jungle River it sounds like something straight out of Jumanji but we promise this is not a work of fiction it is believed that the bridge was first built by the Heike clan who took refuge in the iya Valley after their defeat in 1185 during the jhen pie war this bridge is ancient and we're super surprised it's still holding up the bridge was meant to protect the Heike from enemy attacks and if anything happened they could just cut the vines and send their enemies to their deaths in the river below the bridge gets rebuilt every three years or so and now features steel cables amongst the vines as well as more planks to walk on the original bridge had 12-inch gaps between each plank nowadays you can see tourists braving the bridge and in the scenery of the iya Valley just don't look down glass sky walk in time minh shan national park china built about three years ago the glass-bottom bridge at time makan National Park is definitely one to check out the bridge stretches to about 1,400 feet long 980 feet off the ground and is about 6 meters wide it's actually huge to give you an idea of how big it is the Grand Canyon Skywalk is 69 feet in length and stands about 718 feet into the air that's peanuts compared to this behemoth the bridge was designed by Isreali architect Haim Doulton who also designed Israel's Expo 2010 Pavilion so you know it's gonna be pretty sturdy Dolan says that the bridge will be used as a runway for fashion shows down the line and will be able to hold up to 800 people the bridge also features the world's highest bungee jump allowing tourists to dive off the mammoth bridge into the valley below it's a glass bridge of epic proportions we just hope it doesn't shatter Ashima ohashi bridge in Japan via Shima ohashi bridge is hilly to say the least it was originally built in this steep incline to allow ships to pass under the bridge the bridge links the city's mat-su and Sakia monado in an upturned roller coaster like v-shape easily comparable to a waterslide the concrete bridge spans around one mile long and is about 11 meters wide allowing plenty of room for cars to cross thousands of vehicles pass this bridge every day the bridge was even featured in Daihatsu motors commercial to prove the durability and speed of their minivan I guess that's just how intense this bridge is it's like the ultimate test and vehicle performance next time skip your annual trip to the theme park and take a ride on the Ashima ohashi bridge who saw any hanging bridge in pakistan the who saw any hanging bridge is like the definition of rickety the bridge barely even looks finished with cable spring and planks all ships the bridge connects to neighboring villages over the board lake and at a glance looks mighty scary but those who cross it don't seem to be bothered due to the bridge being named after a popular figure Shastra of hazrat imam husain they believe that he's protecting them as they cross we on the other hand think they're just straight-up deranged for even considering setting foot on this rickety nightmare it's considered to be the oldest and most terrifying bridge in the country with people from all over the world flocking to the who siani to take pictures of themselves on what looks like a glorified craft project the area locals will cross the bridge like it ain't no thing carrying huge packs on their back choosing to risk their lives as opposed to walking around the mountain wasting two hours of their busy work day the spirit of Shara must be really working suspension glass bridge and she knew Zoo National Park in China what's with China and glass bottom walkways this impressive footbridge is about 872 feet long 6.5 feet wide and hangs over the beautiful scenery of she new zoo National Park though it's not as high as the one in Taemin shan national park it features something that puts it on a whole other category of scary in the last few meters of the bridge a cracking effect gets ignited under the tourists feet it's simply a special effect but the majority of people run for their lives during the last bit of the path making for a truly unforgettable experience the tour guides think it's funny the tourists not so much long Jang's suspension bridge in boa Shan city China there's something just so inexplicably scary about suspension bridges I mean they're held up by ropes basically so that's sketchy the long Jiang suspension bridge is billed as being the longest and tallest bridge of its kind spanning 3,900 feet making it only slightly shorter than the famous Golden Gate Bridge it was built with the intention to cut off half an hour of travel for motorists going between boa Shan and tan Chong the Chinese government paid a hundred and fifty million dollars to complete construction on the bridge and now you can see cars whizzing by nine hundred and twenty feet above the valley I don't know about you but I'm not going to put my life in the hands of the Chinese government titless cliff walk in the Swiss Alps bridges are fine and dandy when they're in a warm jungle or sunny Valley but what about a bridge that's 1500 feet above a glacier in the Swiss Alps the titlis cliff walk is a footbridge that hangs about 9,000 feet above sea level which is super-high in any bridge standard the path is about 330 feet long only three feet wide and made of industrial grade steel making the handrail very cold to the touch upon opening a snowstorm blurred the view beneath the bridge making the walkers feel like they're walking over a cloud of some sort which would have been either super cool or super scary the bridge is meant to attract tourists who want to take in the snowy mountain scenery without busting out the skis all we know is that if we were crossing that bridge our mittens would be totally glued to that ice-cold handrail agui du Midi in Rhone Alps France the French are known for their fine wine and romance but did you know that the Rhone Alps and France is home to one of the highest running cable cars in the world so not exactly a bridge but you could say that the my cable cars are like a moving bridge taking tourists across a 1200 foot drop above the mountain landscape of the French Alps you also have the option of stepping out into a glass cage that hovers over the mountain edge as well as a short foot bridge that spans across two of its spires it's the kind of journey that's only suited for the most daring of Daredevils the confederation bridge of canada if you're a canadian you've definitely heard of the confederation bridge an 8 mile long bridge that connects the provinces of Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick the bridge is considered to be the longest in the world requiring about four years of labor from over 5,000 workers to complete the construction we wouldn't necessarily call this bridge scary due to its refined structure and solidity we would consider it though to be one of the most impressive bridges in the world the tripped bridge of Switzerland another bridge over the Swiss Alps except this one is hanging in midair I'm getting scared already the bridge was built in 2004 as a response to the rapidly melting glaciers the once massive glaciers were no longer high enough to take visitors to the main hunt so the tripped bridge was born the bridge is modeled after Nepalese style three rope bridges so it's not super sturdy but it gets the job done spanning to almost 600 feet long and hanging about 350 feet off the ground the swinging bridge is not for the faint of heart the path itself is only wide enough for one body to pass at a time and the ropes don't feel like the most sturdy thing in the world to be holding up a bridge and freezing cold climate like the Alps carrick-a-rede rope bridge in Northern Ireland Ireland is a magical place so it's no wonder it's also home to a mystical looking rope bridge that looks like it's straight out of a fairy tale this special bridge connects the mainland of Northern Ireland to the tiny island of curry curried it's a wee bridge spanning only 66 feet and hanging about a hundred feet above the rocky shore below the bridge literally looks like it's hanging by a thread the pathway is made up of thin twine and wood and the structure itself is held up by basic rope it doesn't get much more medieval than this you definitely feel like an explorer from a storybook when you cross this one Rumpelstiltskin is that you Capilano Suspension Bridge in Vancouver Canada the beautiful nature ridden city of Capilano which means beautiful River and object one of the most magnificent suspension bridges in the world built in 1889 the capilano suspension bridge
