The world’s longest sea crossing, which connects Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macao, has now opened to the public. The bridge spans over 55 km (34 miles) and includes 23 km of bridges, 6.7 km of tunnels, and two artificial islands. The new construction cuts the time of road travel between Hong Kong and Zhuhai from four hours to just 40 minutes. However, drivers can only access the bridge after receiving a special permit from the authorities.
A bridge over the Vitim River in eastern Siberia is certainly one of the scariest and most dangerous crossings on the planet. This 66-foot-high, 1,640-foot-long bridge is barely wide enough to fit a vehicle on it and comes without any safety railing. Despite its below-par condition and old decaying wooden flooring, the bridge is actively used daily by some 1,500 people at their own risk. The bridge was built around 30 years ago but was never officially put into operation.
