20. Quepos Bridge, Costa Rica
The exceedingly tiny Quepos Bridge in Costa Rica is known as “The Bridge of Death” and “Oh My God Bridge.” It is located on the road between Jaco and Quepos on Costa Rica’s central Pacific coast. It’s one of the world’s most spectacular bridges. Automobiles can only travel in one direction. It’s hardly big enough to fit a bicycle, let alone a 30 tonne lorry. Trucks, on the other hand, frequently pass through this deathtrap. The bridge, which is made of wood boards, appears to be in danger of collapsing at any minute, but heavy trucks supposedly drive over it and people survive. The roadway’s loose slats clang loudly, and the bridge trembles beneath the weight of all the vehicles.
19. Storseisundet Bridge, Norway
The Storseisundet Bridge, part of the Atlanterhavsveien, is a cantilever bridge located in the midwestern portion of Norway’s coastline (Atlantic Road). It’s built in such a way that when viewed from a certain angle, it seems more like a diving board than a bridge. The approach appears risky because the bridge abruptly terminates, as though continuing might force the car to slide off and into the waters below.The Atlantic Road is made up of eight bridges.This bridge is also known as the inebriated bridge because when you cross it, it appears to vanish in front of you. In 2011, the Daily Mail dubbed the bridge the “Road to Nowhere.”
18. Hanging Bridge of Ghasa, Nepal
The Ghasa Hanging Bridge in Nepal is built at a tremendous height; however, it is rather small and extremely vulnerable to the frequent wind gusts that occur in this area. Locals have become accustomed to crossing the bridge, but not all travellers would be brave enough to do so. The bridge appears to be rather shaky and weak. It was created, however, not just for people to cross, but also for the very essential cattle.
17. Musou Tsuribashi Bridge, Japan
The Musou Tsuribashi Suspension Bridge, dubbed “Japan’s Scariest Suspension Bridge,” is incredibly thin and hazardous. The bridge, which is located in the Southern Japanese Alps, commonly known as the Akaishi Mountains, was built in the 1950s and is not only Japan’s scariest but also its oldest remaining suspension bridge. The bridge is largely kept together by wire, with thin wooden boards running the length of it for stability. This bridge is situated in a remote location. To get to the bridge, you must climb the mountain’s slope using metal chains (it’s too steep to do so without them).
16. Sidu River bridge, China
Sidu River Bridge, in Badong County, Hubei Province, China, was the world’s highest bridge when it opened in November 2009, reaching more than 1,500 feet in the air. The world’s highest bridge has to be built with rockets since it spans such a large chasm.The massive gorge beneath can appear rather frightening to people terrified of heights.This steel structure was erected with audacity on a $100 million budget.
15. U Bein Bridge, Myanmar
U Bein Bridge, the world’s oldest teak bridge, was built from the ruins of a royal palace. It appears to be under construction, but it is not!

The bridge, also known as Rollercoaster Bridge, is Japan’s largest T bridge, with a strong concrete frame. It is the world’s third-largest city.
13. Kuandinsky Bridge in Kuanda, Russia
Crossing the river and snow is difficult enough, but imagine having to use a shaky bridge along the route. In Russia’s Trans-Baikal Region, the Kuandinsky Bridge is one such. This perilous crossing spans 570 metres across the Vitim River and is little over two metres wide, with no railings or other safety precautions to prevent automobiles or people from plummeting into the freezing waters. Its deteriorating iron structure has been simply covered with old wooden railway sleepers, which become slippery when frozen over with ice and snow.
12. Puente de Ojuela, México
Walking across the creaking wood floor of the Puente De Ojuela, which is just about 2 feet wide, can be terrifying. The bridge is 1,043 feet long and sits 360 feet above the valley floor.Because of the open style of the construction and its amazing height, passing through it offers a sense of weightlessness.The bridge connects a ghost town to an abandoned mine, which adds to the dread.
11. Canopy Walk, Ghana
This bridge, dangling 40 feet in the air, will add a unique twist to your normal jungle trek. It’s a fun (but terrifying) way to get up close and personal with nature, including trees, monkeys, and birds.Despite its location in the tropical forest of Kakum National Park, the bridge was constructed by a few Canadians. The path is made up of seven distinct bridges that span 130 feet above the ground and is difficult for the faint of heart.
10. Suspension Bridge on the Trift Glacier, Switzerland
One of the most beautiful pedestrian suspension bridges in the Alps is the Thrift Bridge. It stands 100m high and 170m long above the Trift Glacier region. The tender-hearted may wish to avoid the meeting, but those who enjoy thrilling rides will find crossing this scary bridge no less thrilling than mountain climbing or scuba diving!The cliffs overlooking the Trift glacier and lake, maybe the scariest of the bunch, are a difficult but quick hike.
9. Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, Northern Ireland
The bridge is quite “bouncy,” which can be a little unnerving. Two wooden planks are arranged across a set of woven wire supports. If you slip, you risk injuring yourself. The National Trust is responsible for maintaining and managing the rope bridge, ensuring that it is safe to cross.
8. Monkey Bridges, Vietnam
Locals construct these Monkey Bridges, which can be found all around Vietnam. After all, it may appear that only monkeys could cross traditional monkey bridges. A single bamboo log and one rail was traditionally used. The term, on the other hand, originates from the stooped monkey-like posture that must be maintained when crossing to avoid falling into the river below. Vietnam’s monkey bridges have been ranked among the top ten scariest bridges in the world by Top ten Things.
7. Aiguille du Midi Bridge, French Alps
The Aiguille Du Midi may be one of the shortest bridges on this list, but it more than makes up for it in height and spectacle. The walkway is located at the summit of France’s Mount Blanc Massif mountain range. To get to the bridge, tourists must first risk a cable car ride from Chamonix’s ski resort, which takes them up a staggering 9,200 feet. It’s not for the faint of heart, but if you can get beyond the vertigo, you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking views of Mount Blanc and the surrounding mountains.
6. Royal Gorge Bridge, USA
Until the Beipan River Guanxing Highway Bridge was finished in 2003, the Royal Gorge Bridge held the title of world’s highest suspension bridge. The Arkansas River is 956 feet below it. The bridge is extremely high and unquestionably dangerous, yet people are harnessing their fear and turning it into excitement. Companies have taken advantage of the bridge since it opened, adding a zip line, a “sky coaster” roller coaster attraction, and gondolas.
5. Seven Mile Bridge, Florida
In the Florida Keys, the Seven Mile Bridge is a well-known landmark. This 7-mile-long, 65-foot-high bridge connects Knight’s Key and Little Duck Key and has been featured in a number of movies and television shows. It’s a two-lane bridge causeway with one lane in each direction. It is one of the world’s longest bridges, stretching out into the open sea. The bridge itself does not appear to be particularly dangerous. However, because of its location in the Florida Keys, it is a potential target for the region’s numerous hurricanes. While the new seven-mile bridge is officially the second of its sort, the original was decommissioned since it sat directly in the water and prevented boats from passing.
4. Capilano Suspension Bridge, Canada
The Capilano Suspension Bridge is a modest suspension bridge in North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, that spans the Capilano River.

3. Langkawi Sky Bridge, Malaysia
At the ‘end’ of the Cable Car excursion lies the Langkawi Sky Bridge. This bridge, which rises 400 feet above the ground, has been closed for maintenance on multiple occasions. On the route to the summit of Langkawi’s second highest mountain, the Telaga Tujuh Waterfalls and the rainforest can be seen. Those who are terrified of heights may be concerned about the altitude. Although crossing it is a nerve-wracking experience, it is well worth it because the cable-stayed bridge loops 125 metres around a single pillar.The Langkawi Sky Bridge in Malaysia was built by a construction team that had to hoist the bridge by helicopter.
2. Hussaini hanging Bridge, Pakistan
People living in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of Northern Pakistan must travel to cities across the most scary Hussaini Hanging Bridge in the Himalayas. It’s terrifying for a number of reasons. To begin with, falling through this dilapidated, gap-filled swinging bridge would launch you into the Hunza River below. Second, the bridge is in poor condition, and as you cross it, powerful gusts shake it severely. Finally, when you cross the bridge, you’ll observe the jagged pieces of the previous bridge that are still strewn about near the current bridge.. Hikers put their nerves to the test as they cautiously shuffle across the bridge, which has become something of a tourist attraction. In Pakistan, the Hussaini Hanging Bridge was previously so unstable that it washed away and had to be reconstructed.
1. Deception Pass Bridge, Washington
The Deception Pass Bridge, aside from having a name straight out of a horror film, can be quite terrifying to drive over on a foggy day when visibility is near nil. In Washington state’s Deception Pass State Park, this two-lane bridge connects Whidbey Island with Fidalgo. If driving over the rushing water of the Puget Sound isn’t terrifying enough, walking along the bridge’s edge in the restricted pedestrian lane can up the anxiety of the person.
