Steemians Are You Brave Enough For this? 12/2/2018

in travel •  7 years ago 

Hey Steemian how brave are you feeling? I would love to know if you got the guts for trying this...oh but all at your own risk of course lol.
There's a bridge over at the Vitim River this is in eastern Siberia btw, and I have to say this certainly as to be one of the scariest and most dangerous crossings on the planet.

It looks beautiful eh but check this out!

No you are not seeing things!
This is indeed a high bridge and probably hopefully what you noticed right away is there are no bloody safety rails!
This is a 66 foot high and 1,640 foot long bridge and as you can see its barely wide enough to fit a vehicle on, yeah not only that but the condition of this bridge isn't great either its not safe its got old decaying wooden flooring!

Whats even more crazy is despite these below-par conditions the bridge is actually still very much used to this day.
No not just by crazy daredevil type of folks but basically anybody who wants to risk it (all at own risk) seriously its insane, and there are actually around "daily" some 1,500 people who use it!

This bridge in the Vitim River in eastern Siberia was actually built around 30 years ago but was never completed fully nor was it ever officially put into operation as you can imagine, but like I said despite that people dont care and still cross it with their cars motor bikes or by bicycle.

Cant be much better when it snows.

So are you brave enough to cross this rickety 30 year old bridge? Regardless of your choice in action or not its still beautiful and pretty awesome eh?

I would not go on it. What if some ice is on it? You would slide right off.

Thanks for sharing @mattt and yes being wood some of it is not in good condition could have slime build up so yes slippery.

Locals most likely drive with their eyes shut! 😆 But looks scary! I didn't even know something like this exist!

Ahaha yea probably but dam that would not be a good idea LOL thanks @rimicane

I would walk it yes. Biking it? I feel that's pushing it. Driving? Let's just say I don't have my license yet hahahaa... I noticed a few "EH's" in your article... Thanks for speaking my language XD upvoted, resteemed and followed.

Yea I agree I would probably give it a try walking but not when its been snowing and the water if flipping freezing thanks and welcome aboard @thatterrioguy

I agree with you, biking is my limit. I would not try to cross it while driving, not even by a $1,000,000 bet. I would not risk my life for that, it is not worth it. I must admit that I do not feel comfortable driving on such a narrow road.

i could walk the bike but anything any wider and there wouldnt be any passing room, theres a few one way bridges here in nova scotia but the majority of them are covered and have guardrails.

wow, photography is very cool friends, the bridge is very narrow, it's easy for us lewankan this Vitim River bridge, good post @simonjay, I will follow @simonjay always and want to see the next new post from @simonjay, thanks for sharing the information

Yes its very narrow but also high well I am glad you wouldn't have any trouble, well thank you for the kind words @ipul01 and welcome on board.

Nope!

Love the honesty @biochronic hehe

We don't know how lucky we are,

Yes as I rather not @manorvillemike

Are those people out of their minds? You couldn't pay me enough SBD to go over that bridge by foot or car!

Haha I was thinking the same, why risk it? I would venture walking it for some SBD but not while its snowing or the river slightly frozen, nope!

I would probably walk across it. Not sure I'd drive though and especially not in the snow! 😊

These were my thoughts exactly @gillianpearce
