Bridges Around the World That Would Make Us Think Twice Before Crossing

Royal Gorge Bridge, Colorado - The Highest Suspension Bridge in the US

Perched high above the Arkansas River, the Royal Gorge Bridge in Colorado is the highest suspension bridge in the United States, with a staggering drop of 956 feet. Constructed in 1929, this engineering marvel spans a chasm over 1,260 feet long, creating a breathtaking and nerve-wracking experience for those who dare to cross. Walking across this bridge means confronting the sheer height, with nothing but a thin metal mesh between you and a vertiginous plunge into the gorge below.

The wind gusts can be intense, making the crossing even more treacherous, adding to the heart-pounding fear factor.
