Puente de Ojuela (Mexico)

The mining town below once used this bridge but today, is only pedestrians are allowed to use it since it is way too risky for a vehicle to pass over it. Completed in 1898, this bridge was restored in 1991 as a tourist attraction. Tourists flock here due to its reputation of being among the world’s most dangerous roads.

Quepos Bridge (Costa Rica)

Also known as the “Oh My God bridge” or “Bridge of Death,” this structure is something you cross at your own risk. The Bananera Company constructed this bridge in the 1930s and 1940s to transport bananas by train to the port of Quepos. It may not look like it is able to support a car’s weight, but trucks actually cross this bridge every day and they somehow survive. It is extremely narrow though, allows vehicles to travel only in a single direction, and its planks don’t extend the whole bridge and loudly clank under the weight of cars.
