Hussaini Hanging Bridge (Pakistan)

Claimed to be the world’s most dangerous, this bridge is among the many not-so-safe rope bridges found in Northern Pakistan. There are quite a few reasons why this bridge located in the Upper Hunza region is terrifying. First of all, falling through this rickety swinging bridge filled with gaps would have you plunging into the raging waters of the Hunza River below. Secondly, this bridge is quite poorly maintained and as you walk across, there are strong winds that vigorously shake the structure. Finally, as you cross the bridge, you can see the previous bridge’s ragged remains still hanging in tatters right next to the new bridge.

Seven Mile Bridge (Florida, USA)

This is actually the second Seven Mile Bridge since the first one was decommissioned and its swing span was taken down after a destructive hurricane. Located in the Florida Keys, the newer Seven Mile Bridge connects the islands Knights Key and Little Duck Key, which are in the middle and lower Florida Keys respectively. When it was constructed, the Seven Mile Bridge was among the world’s longest bridges and it has won eight awards, including the Exceptional Award for Cost Savings Innovation presented by the Federal Highway Administration. It may not look very scary, but it’s probably the last place you would like to find yourself during a Florida hurricane.
