Puente de Ojuela, Mexico
From series “The Most Dangerous Bridges in the World”Year: 1898. Lenght: 275 meters.
Puente de Ojuela situated in Mexico is considered one of the most dangerous and mysterious places on the planet. The bridge was built over a deep canyon in 1898; it served the shortest transition from the town to Ojuela mines, where precious metals and other minerals were mined. The draft of the first bridge project was developed by sons of world-famous engineer John Roebling; the most famous of his creations is Brooklyn Bridge.
After its completion, Puente de Ojuela has been one of the longest suspension bridges in the world for many years. It featured high steadiness; developers used steel cables to strengthen its construction that was a major innovation at the end of the 19th century. The bridge was actively used by miners, and when gold and silver mines were exhausted, the bridge fell into neglect, as well as the town of Ojuela. Today, this high bridge appeals to fans of extreme sports. Passing through it gives a feeling of weightlessness, thanks to the open design of the construction and an impressive height. Jagged cliffs located around add thrill, so adrenaline rush during a walk across the bridge is guaranteed. Today, this large construction, whose length is more than 275 meters, is one of the prominent tourist attractions. These places attract fans of photography, because of the great view over the canyon.
