A "bizarre" bridge inNorwayis one of the most photographed pieces of road infrastructure in the world, with design that has terrified drivers for over three decades. The Storseisundet Bridge is the longest ofeight crossingsthat comprise the Nordic nation'sAtlanterhavsveien ("The Atlantic Road"), linking the Romsdal peninsula on the mainland to the island of Averøya in Møre og Romsdal county.
The cantilever structure, which stretches over 850 ft, opened in July 1989 (some 37 years ago) and is by far the best known on the route due to its unusual appearance. The bridge rises to a maximum height of about 75 feet as it bends over the rocks and water below.

Kuriositas.com, a website that celebrates weird and wonderful curiosities from around the world said of the bridge: "Nervous drivers (and their equally nervous passengers) beware!
"You should really prepare yourselves for the sight of Storseisundet Bridge in Norway." It adds that "looks very much as if you are in for an icy bath as you plummet off".
OneReddituser who recommended anyone visiting the country to go and see the eccentric piece of engineering previously described it as "probably the bizarrest of the bridges".
