20 of the World’s Scariest Bridges

  •  U Bein Bridge, Myanmar

The sight of the U Bein Bridge is likely to get you thinking that it is halfway through construction. The teakwood bridge spans Taungthaman Lake and measures 0.75 miles. The bridge is believed to have been constructed in the 1850s and has since become a vital passageway for the locals. In recent time, numerous tourists have thronged the neighborhood to have to have a look of the vertigo-inducing bridge. The bridge features pillars that rise straight out of the water. The pillars total 1086 in number. Some of the pillars worn out by age have been replaced with concrete. Despite being stable and looking adequately intact, locals fear that the bridge may not last very long as an increasing number of pillars are decaying by the day. Some of the pillars have even been detached from the bases. Despite all these, tourists are still attracted to the bridge and the locals use it on a daily basis.
