Capilano Suspension Bridge, Canada
From series “The Most Dangerous Bridges in the World”
Located in the immediate vicinity of Vancouver, the Capilano Suspension Bridge is considered not only extreme, but also one of the most attractive bridges on the planet. It serves to get over Capilano River. The fabulously beautiful landscape surrounded by evergreen forests can be seen there. At the entrance to the bridge you can see the totem poles that were erected in honor of the head of Squamish clan. Several hundred years ago, his tribe lived on the territory of the town; Capilano River and, later, the bridge owe their names to this person.
The very first bridge was built in 1889; the project was developed by the Scottish engineer George Grant Mackay. The bridge, where tourists can walk today, has been opened in 1956. Its length is 136 meters; the structure is safe and can withstand the weight of the 96 elephants at the same time. Despite the guarantee of security, getting over the bridge still requires stiff upper lip. The construction is situated at a great height and resonates significantly during walking. Even a few seconds on the bridge can trigger an attack of vertigo and panic among people who have fear of heights. It’s also worth noting that the Capilano Suspension Bridge is privately owned, so it is paid. Every year, this unique attraction is visited by about 900,000 tourists. There are many attractions and entertainment options in the national park next to the bridge.
