Vitim River Bridge, Siberia
Siberia, Russia’s Vitim River Bridge is perilously decrepit, yet locals use it to ford the river with vehicles. Suspended over the Vitim, this bridge’s poor condition makes it one of the world’s most dangerous bridges.
Across worn planks, Russians still cross the battered bridge daily. Though fraught with holes, taking this path saves both time and expense. When winter cloaks the Vitim’s flow in ice, the span’s traffic grows.
