5 Craziest Bridges of The World

#1 Japan's Eshima Ohashi bridge: The kind of bridge you'd expect in Grand Theft Auto

At 44 meters high, the bridge promises a sharp plummet down, and you can imagine the Japanese silently cursing "Not this crap again" as they reach the top of the bridge and double check their seat belts.

#2 Root bridge in Cherrapunji: This bridge is alive!

Since Cherrapunji is one of the wettest places in India, ordinary wood bridges would collapse here. To guide the roots holding the bridge together, they use hollowed out betel nut trunks. So rocks, roots, and mud make 100 feet bridges that can support 50 people (or over 500 kilos). Oh, and some of these bridges are already over 500 years old!

#3 Henderson Waves - Singapore comes here to get legally high

The highest you can get on a bridge in Singapore is here, at Henderson Waves bridge, 36 metres above ground. Which makes sense - it looks like stoners built it. For some odd reason, the one thing Singaporeans love to do here is take jumping selfies.

#4 Don't look at the Nanpu Bridge in Shanghai for too long. You'll get dizzy.

Those loops make you say WOW. And kind of afraid if your car breaks down and you stall the traffic here - last clocked at 120,000 vehicles per day in 2006. The Chinese have described it as a dragon laying across the river. Which is expected - these guys love their dragons.

#5 The Rolling Bridge: London is so Brit

While most of the bridges on this list are crazy, London's Rolling Bridge is just practical and oh-so-Brit. It tidily rolls up when you don’t need it, and can get you across the Grand Union Canal when you do. 
And then it curls back again so boat traffic can pass by. Hydraulic pistons power the steel and timber footbridge's movement.
