This is the Eshima Ohashi bridge in Japan that women drivers avoid as well as many male drivers. It's the third largest rigid-frame bridge in the world at 44 metres tall. And judging by its looks, it would also probably qualify as the world's scariest too. The mile-long bridge was built on the banks of Lake Nakaumi , connecting the cities of Matsue and Sakaiminato. If you're wondering why it looks more like a roller coaster (or should I say, road-er coaster) than a bridge, it's because it was designed to be highenough to let ships pass underneath.It has a gradient of 5.1 percent on the Tottori Prefecture side and 6.1 percent on the Shimane Prefecture side, making its slope look like the apex of a roller coaster. In addition to wearing a seatbelt, you might want to have your brakes checkedand plenty of deep tyre tread just in case it is raining before using this bridge.Nervous drivers and smooth tyre tread strictly not recommended.
Never mind coming down you would need a good engine to get up
