not to walk on this bridge as the swinging of bridge particularly on windy day can affect you badly.

A short coastal footpath leads to this Bridge. On the way, there are wonderful points to stop and enjoy the
natural beauty. Travelling on Carrick-a-Rede Bridge is also a thrilling experience. Traditionally this bridge
was erected by fishermen over a 23m-deep and 20m-wide to check their salmon nets. Today visitors come here

Construction of the Royal Gorge Bridge in Colorado (USA) the world’s largest suspension bridge began on
5 June 1929. It is 1,053 feet (321 meters) above the ground below and 1,270 feet long. This bridge was
built for $350,000 weighing roughly 1500 tons and the cost today can easily exceed $15 million. Taking

but it was built with the intension that it would serve as a tourist attraction. It has continued to be
one of the most-visited tourist attractions in Colorado since its opening. The Royal Gorge Route Railroad
runs under the bridge along the base of Royal Gorge. Walking on this bridge makes for a breathless journey.

1. Hussain Bridge of Borit Lake, Pakistan

One of the most scariest and dangerous bridges of the world is the Hussaini- Borit Lake Bridge in
Hunza Pakistan. There is absolutely no way this is safe but is actually used on a regular basis by
those attempting to travel to the larger cities in northern Pakistan from one village to another.
The bridge (if you can even call it that) is very old, missing planks, extremely narrow, and high
above the lake. If you are searching for extreme thrills then this bridge might be a delight for
you, however for the majority of visitors and locals alike the bridge is truly death-defying and
fearful. It is not known exactly how many people may have become a casualty while crossing this
treacherous structure, but more than enough.
