8. Eshima Ohashi Bridge, Japan

The Eshima Ohashi Bridge, linking Matsue and Sakaiminato in Japan, has gained recognition for its steep appearance in photographs. The bridge's 6.1% incline looks extreme due to telephoto lenses, earning it nicknames like "The Roller Coaster Bridge." In actuality, crossing the bridge is much smoother than it looks. Built to permit ships to pass beneath, the bridge climbs 144 feet (44 meters) and spans nearly a mile (1.7 kilometers). Its design delivers a safe, pleasant drive, making it both a crucial transportation link and a popular tourist attraction.
