The World’s Most Dangerous Bridges, Ranked

They call it “The Bridge of Death.” That’s not an urban legend—it’s what locals in Costa Rica named the Quepos Bridge. Built during World War II for train use, it was never intended for modern traffic; yet, vehicles still rumble across its rusted frame daily. It groans, sways, and clangs with every passing car.

Pedestrians hug the side beams, knowing there’s no sidewalk—just hope and habit. Between its gaping holes, loud vibrations, and decaying metal, it feels more like a dare than a crossing. Even slow drivers feel their heartbeat race. It’s not superstition—it’s the bridge’s voice warning you.
