Beware of These 24 Terrifying Bridges From Around the World

7. Hussaini Hanging Bridge, Pakistan

This precarious bridge made up of thin ropes and old planks in northern Pakistan’s Hunza region is considered one of the most dangerous bridges in the world. Until 1979, when the Karakoram Highway was completed, locals in the Gilgit-Baltistan region were mostly barred from the rest of Pakistan. Rickety plank bridges, such as the Hussaini Hanging Bridge, provided access to more of the country.

Strong winds and missing planks can make the river crossing rather treacherous. Travel site Atlas Obscura reports that it may have even been washed away at some point by a 2011 monsoon storm.
