If you drive your car or take the bus every day, you most likely have to go over a bridge every now and then. Of course, you probably don’t cross those which cause terrible vomiting, tremors and dizziness on a regular basis. However, if you still find something you don’t like about the bridges you use every day, then you might appreciate them a bit more after seeing the structures on this list. Some bridges oscillate, while others are too steep, but they all share something in common – they are among the world’s scariest bridges.
Royal Gorge Bridge, Colorado
This extreme suspension bridge is the highest in the US and its history is pretty interesting as well. It was built back in 1929, but it had no cables for wind stabilization even 50 years after it was constructed! Since then, this bridge has turned into a tourist attraction and there is even a cable car for those brave souls.

Monkey Bridge, Vietnam
This bridge isn’t the only one of its kind in Vietnam. As a matter of fact, a number of them can be found in the Mekong Delta. Despite the fact that one might think only a monkey would be able to cross this kind of structure, the inhabitants of this region actually use these bridges, which have become a popular crossing point. The monkey bridge is commonly made of one piece of bamboo and earned its name from the funny posture that people need to adopt whenever they cross it.
