The Quepos Bridge (Costa Rica)
The Quepos Bridge in Costa Rica, also known by its ominous nicknames like “Bridge of Death” or “Oh My God Bridge,” is a notoriously terrifying bridge known to those in the know. Located on the Pacific coast in central Costa Rica, it connects the popular tourist destinations of Jacó and Quepos. Originally built in the 1930s for transporting bananas, the bridge is now open to vehicle traffic. However, the eerie rattling sound that echoes with every passing car is due to the fact that it hasn’t been repaired in years.
The entire bridge is dilapidated and said to be on the verge of collapse. Furthermore, large trucks also use this bridge, which means it’s accumulating damage every day. It’s also extremely narrow, making it impossible for cars to pass each other. In addition, the wooden planks laid on the bridge aren’t nailed down, so if you were to miss a step, the following vehicles would be stranded. It’s truly a perilous bridge that demands a life-or-death crossing.
