3. Bamboo Bridge, Cambodia
Located in Kampong Cham, a city in the East part of Cambodia, the Bamboo Bridge is the major means of access to a nearby island in the dryer seasons of the year.
Even crazier, the Bamboo Bridge is rebuilt every year and is expected to hold hundreds of people at any given time. “The bridge has a framework made of bamboo sticks and a carpet of several layers of canes cut in halves extends over it, absorbing the impact of the vehicles.” Would you risk a crossing?
4. Captain William Moore Bridge, Alaska
Named for Captain William Moore, “a pilot, prospector, packer, trader and riverboat captain,” the bridge runs 110 feet over Moore Creek Gorge … and an active fault line. As a result of its location, the engineers who designed the bridge only anchored one side of the thing so that in the event of a ground shift, the bridge isn’t torn in half. How comforting.
