There are so many bridges in the world, most of them even don’t worth our attention, but, also, there are some bridges, that keep you on tenterhooks either looking at them or driving. So, 5 top strangest bridges in the world:

  1. Bridges Glanerbeek are the 1st bridges in our list. There were three main transportation arteries in this area: for pedestrians, bikes and buses. The aim was to divide these three areas while making amazing bridges. The entire construction is based on a thin, but reliable deck. The bridges look very harmonically and so close to nature.

  2. Borneo Sporenburg Bridges. These bridges are located in Amsterdam and were made by Naomi. Three unusual red steel bridges extend over the water between the islands Sporenburg and Borneo. Two of these three bridges stretch for 90m and the 3d one is 25 meters long. The pedestrian bridge is the most unusual one.

  3. Gateshead Millennium Bridge. It is the 1st in the world tilting bridge, it spans across the River Tyne, and unites Gateshead Quays and the center of Newcastle. This bridge is made up of a two steel arches: thus, the bridge looks like a completely rigid structure. Because of incredible curves and the simplicity of the idea, this bridge is very elegant. Also, it is environmentally friendly. The Millennium Bridges is really stunning while illuminated, it draws attention of many people.

  4. Zouthavenbrug. You can find it in Amsterdam. This bridge is situated in a strange and not very usual place as for a bridge but it appeared to be a very reliable one. It supports weigh almost 200 tons. It looks like a spinal column, possessing 21 trusses.  This bridge is a bright detail of Amsterdam.
