دو تصویر عجیب از یک پل در ژاپن .28 مهر -94
This is the Eshima Ohashi bridge in Japan . 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 "road-er-coaster") than a bridge, it’s because it was designed to be high
enough 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 bring a barf bag (sickness bag) when driving over
this bridge.
AND WHAT IF YOUR BRAKES
(or someone else’s) FAIL?
