The Storseisundbrua, Atlantic Highway

Situated in Norway, the Storseisundbrua Bridge is the longest of the eight bridges that make up the Atlantic Road.

The bridge connects Romsdal peninsula to the island of Averoya.

Opened on July 7, 1989, the bridge is a cantilever bridge and is 850 ft long.

The leap of the bridge is what looks scary and makes one feel as if they are entering into the unknown.

 
Ejima Bridge

Ejima Bridge is built in Japan and connects the Sakaiminato and Matsue.

The two cities are located on opposite sides of Lake Nakaumi.

The bridge that reaches up to the height of 44 metres is no less than a roller-coaster because of its steepness.

Ejima Bridge was given this shape to provide smooth passage to the ships.

However if a person ever gets to stop his/ her car on the bridge, he/she should not forget to use handbrake as a minor mistake can lead to a major disaster here.


The Millau Viaduct

A cable-stayed bridge, Millau Viaduct is located in southern France and is built over River Tarn valley.

It is part of the A75-A71 autoroute axis from Paris to Béziers and Montpellier.

Inaugrated on 14 December 2004, the bridge is surely a civil engineer's dream and an acrophobe's nightmare.
 

Volgograd Bridge

Located in Russia, Volgograd Bridge is a concrete girder bridge built over the Volga River.

The bridge was constructed in 1996 but was inaugurated on October 10, 2009, 13 years after the construction.

Though the bridge looks like a pretty normal bridge, but is one of the scariest one as well. The bridge is also known as the ‘dancing' bridge.

It oscillates every time the wind picks up. This is the reason it is closed for public whenever the weather gets bad.
