Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge (Northern Ireland)
Some people who had wanted to see the picturesque island located on the other side and had decided to take this 66-foot-long bridge got so frightened by it that they opted to ride a ferry going back instead. We can’t really blame them seeing as this bridge is positioned 30 meters above the water and rugged rocks. What’s more, you need to pay a toll for crossing this bridge. Apparently, not a lot of people in Ireland would like to pay to be scared.

Sidu River Bridge (China)
China’s Sidu River Bridge is currently the world’s highest bridge. Built in 2009, this steel bridge cost $100 million to construct, hangs above the canyon floor at a nauseating 1,600 feet, and has a length of 4,009 feet crossing the river valley. Part of the ongoing highway expansion project of China, the bridge connects two parts of the country which were previously inaccessible due to several rivers and mountainous terrain. It offers truly staggering views of the valley below and fortunately, it is said to be among the sturdiest bridges built in history – and for everyone’s sake, we hope this is true.
