Vitim River Bridge, Russia - Slippery Train Bridge

The Vitim River Bridge in Russia is a dilapidated railway bridge that has become notorious for its perilous condition. Built from rotting wood and lacking any guardrails, the bridge spans a raging river and is slippery with ice during much of the year. Vehicles must navigate narrow planks with uneven spacing, risking a plunge into the frigid waters below. The bridge's decaying state makes it a death-defying challenge, with every step or wheel rotation fraught with danger.
