22 Heart-Stopping Bridges You Should Avoid at All Costs

21. U Bein Bridge, Burma

Built in 1850, the U Bein Bridge holds the distinction of being the world's longest teakwood bridge, stretching gracefully across Taungthaman Lake in Myanmar. Over time, the bridge has suffered from decay due to the lack of durable materials, and local police now patrol the area to ensure safety amid concerns about crime. Despite these challenges, the bridge remains a vital crossing and an enduring symbol of Burmese heritage.
