These Are The Most Dangerous Bridges In The World

Royal Gorge Bridge (Colorado, USA)

This 955-feet high suspension bridge crosses above the Arkansas River and is the highest in the United States. In addition, it has historical significance, having been constructed in the year 1929, though its stabilizing wind cables were only added after fifty years. Today, it has become a tourist attraction that is located near Canon City, Colorado and within Royal Gorge Bridge & Park, a 360-acre amusement park. Those visitors who are brave enough can choose to take a cable car that will give them a 360-degree view of the most stunning scenery of Colorado.

Monkey Bridges (Vietnam)

This is surely not a modern day bridge. Crossing over the Mekong Delta, this monkey bridge, like any other scattered across Vietnam, was handmade from just one piece of bamboo log. It has become a Vietnamese traditional symbol that got its name from the silly way people have to position their bodies while crossing it. These bridges are generally difficult and dangerous for those who are not used to them, but locals actually use these bridges all the time and they are known to carry 20–50 kg while they cross the bridge. We guess it’s fair to say that you shouldn’t try this at home.
