Vitim River Bridge
This is an old six-foot-wide path train bridge in Russia lacking barriers on its sides. It is entirely made of wood, and most of the pieces are missing. Word has since it was constructed no improvement has been done to replace the old rotten planks.
The area where the bridge is located is covered with ice almost the whole year making the bridge to be very slippery and therefore very dangerous. In addition, as you drive across the bridge you have to keep the windows open to enable strong winds pass through the car and avoid being knocked over and drown in the freezing water below. Very few individuals have been known to make it across the bridge.
Royal Gorge Bridge
Located in Colorado, the Royal Gorge Bridge crosses over the Arkansas River. It is a whopping 956 feet (291.39 m) above the river. The bridge was constructed in 1929 at the cost of $350,000 majorly for tourists. Over 350,000 people visit the bridge every year which shows how popular the bridge is.
The Royal Gorge Bridge at one time held the record for the tallest bridge in the world. 291.39 m above is what makes the bridge terrifying for those who are uncomfortable with heights.
