According to Oddity Central, the Trans-Baikal Region bridge – which crosses the Vitim River – was originally built to be portion of the Baikal–Amur Mainline railway. 

However, this never ever came to fruition, leaving the 1,500 inhabitants of the Kuanda village free to usage the bridge. If they dare.

The decaying structure allegedly has actually not seen repairs in the three decades due to the fact that it was built, making for a nail-biting drive for those brave enough to traverse it. 

Adding to this are the terrifying tough winds that threaten to sweep daredevils on the 1,870-foot-long bridge in to the watery depths below.

Drivers are said to cross the bridge along with their windows rolled down to steer clear of the wind from toppling their vehicles off the sides. 

According to Russian blogger Sergey Dolya, that photographed the rundown bridge, surprisingly there is no online tape of any type of accidents or fatalities linked to Kuandinsky Bridge.

However, he speculates this could be as a result of the limited lot of drivers that are brave enough to cross it.
