when i saw a picture of this bridge, i thought it was make believe, but this actually exists!
it’s called the eshima ohashi bridge in japan. WOW! it’s more like a rollercoaster than a bridge
It’s not really very steep. 6.1% gradient.Originally Posted by ellsy_79

Indeed, looked at from side on, it looks positively benign. Very strong structure aswell.

Looks around the same angle/pitch as the house in the foreground.
Must be kinda spooky in a high sided vehical I'd recon.

Apparently the South side of the Dartford Crossing is 4%.

I've absolutely no idea if it is or not, HookedSeven said that.

The photo is making the bottom of the bridge to look much closer to the highest point due to using a telephoto lens.

Yes, that looks more benign.
Apparently, there’s a street in Bristol that’s 22%!!

I get jittery crossing the Humber bridge, so I'm fairly sure that traversing that one would freak me right out!
How steep is Telegraph Hill near Essex?
Why could that bridge not have been made with a more gradual slope from the edge of the hill. Or do ships pass under that middle bit?Indeed, looked at from side on, it looks positively benign. Very strong structure aswell.

I grew up on a farm above Hebden Bridge in West Yorkshire, Mytholm steeps for anyone who knows it is mainly 1 in 5 (20%) but with a 1 in 4 (25%) section towards the top.
It’s a bugger to cycle up!
Porlocks a killer 1 in 4, steepest A road in the UK I believe.
I dont know but you've probably hit the nail on the head regarding ships.

That can’t be the same, completely different structure to the picture posted by the OP?
7 mile bridge, in the Florida Keys has a large hump towards the southern end that looks quite scary on approach but is actually quite tame once you are on it.
See Google Maps link and Eshima Ohashi Bridge on Wiki. Also...GeoHack.
here’s an extract that explains it, as mentioned it seems steeper than it is when photographed from a distance with a telephoto lens
Odd that kink in it.
Been up that a few times visiting friends that live at blackshaw head across from stoodly pike
