The Most Expensive Mistakes in History

The Wobbly Bridge

PIOTREKNIK/SHUTTERSTOCK

The Millennium Bridge in London was unveiled in June 2000 and was intended to make it easier for pedestrians to walk from one point to another. Unfortunately, the bridge earned the nickname “the wobbly bridge” because the increased number of pedestrians using it caused the bridge to shake. As a result, it took two years to modify the bridge so that it would stop swaying before it was safe to allow pedestrians to use it again.
