The Most Frightening Bridge In The World by Adefaze(m): 11:37am On Jul 06, 2015 |
EJIMA BRIDGE In Japan is located the most frightening bridge in the world: judging by the pictures, it seems that those who have designed wanted to defy the force of gravity. We speak of the Ejima bridge, which combines the city of Sakaiminato and Matsue in Japan, the two cities are located on opposite sides of Lake Nakaumi. A bridge rather than a work road, seems part of an roller coaster in a theme park . The steepness is not only due to an optical effect, but it is real, as you can guess from the photographs that portray this.

The bridge, which connects the cities of
Matsue and Sakaiminato, appears to go
straight into the sky and suddenly drop off.
Built high so that fishing boats can pass
underneath, the structure fortunately isn't
quite as steep as it looks.
Nearly a mile long, the bridge has a gradient
of 6.1 percent on one side and 5.1 percent on
the other, according to Yahoo. Cars gradually
ascend, making it less scary for drivers than
the bridge appears when photos are taken
from a straight-on angle. In pictures, Eshima
Ohashi definitely earns its "roller coaster
bridge" nickname.
All we know is we'd hate to get in a traffic jam
at the top.

This bridge, the Eshima Ohashi bridge, is
definitely unique. As you probably already
noticed, the bridge has a steep incline on both
sides, and if you were to use a less technical
description, you’d say that it looks like
rollercoasters as opposed to a bridge. It was
designed this way not just to be the largest rigid
frame bridge in Japan, (and third largest in the
world), but because the river which it sits upon
is used heavily by boats and other ships. The bridge is forty-four metres tall, and the incline is very steep at 5.1 percent on one side and 6.1 percent on the other side. This makes it one of the most ingenious bridges in the world in terms of its architectural design, but also one of the most frightening to look at, as we sure you will agree! http://onemorepost.com/terrifying-bridge/
