[ ::: ♥Keep_Mailing♥ ::: ]™ BRIDGE THAT DRIVERS AVOID

SIMAOHASHI" Bridge in Japan

(Makes one say "OH" when using it.)

 

Women drivers avoid it, as well as many male drivers.

It's the third largest rigid-frame bridge inthe 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 ofMatsue andSakaiminato.

If you're wondering why it looks more like a roller coaster (or, road-er coaster) than a bridge,

it's because it was designed to behigh enough to let ships pass underneath.

 

It has a gradient (slope) of5.1 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 checked.

and plenty of deep tire tread just in case it is raining before using this bridge.

 

Nervous drivers and smooth tire treads strictly not recommended to use the bridge, swimming might be an alternate to crossing
 

Never mind coming down with good BRAKES...

You would need a good ENGINE to climb up!
