Driving through it is certainly not one of the things that people would like to do, indeed, probably, after seeing some photos of this bridge, everyone would like to avoid it instead.
Try to imagine someone obliged to drive along this road to go to work, it would almost seem like going on rides every day, but, in addition to the fact that not everyone likes roller coasters, this bridge gives you creeps rather than entertaining.
Bridge or Space Mountain? By car like at a Luna Park
# The bridge of the roller coaster
Ponte Eshima Ohashi
Its name is Eshima Ohashi Bridge and is located in Japan; it connects the city of Matsue in Shimane Prefecture with the city of Sakaiminato in Tottori Prefecture and is famous for its up and down amazing slope.
The bridge is called “The Roller Coaster Bridge” and there is no better name than this one.
More precisely it is a rigid frame bridge (the largest rigid frame bridge in Japan and the third largest in the world), it is about 44 meters high and has a gradient of 6.1% on one side and 5.1% on the other. It is 11.4 meters wide and 1.7 km long, the Eshima Ohashi Bridge was built in this way to facilitate the passage of large cargo ships to the sea.
Built between 1997 and 2004, the Eshima Ohashi Bridge looks like a missed carousel, but at least on the roller coaster people are firmly bound.
# It’s all about perspective
Ponte Eshima Ohashi
Driving through it seems like one of the last things you want to do in your life, but what if this bridge wasn’t so creepy? Actually, the Eshima Ohashi Bridge has gone viral online because, if seen from a certain angle, it’s really scary. It seems that the cars that cross it are about to fall at any moment, it seems to be starting a dive towards the road, ready to crash on the ground.
It seems that the cars that are crossing it are about to fall at any moment; it seems they are diving towards the road, ready to crash on the ground.
In reality, overall, the bridge up and down do not seem so much steep, although we all agree that they are steeper than those of many other bridges.
