3. Volgograd Bridge, Volgograd, Russia
Volgograd Bridge is a concrete girder structure. It was opened in 2009. The bridge is a bit over 7 km long and crosses the Volga. The roadway started shaking and oscillating during a strong storm that occurred a year later, in 2010. That reminded of another similar event of 1940 – the Tacoma Narrows Bridge collapsed due to the same issue. The storm was strong enough to throw cars into the air. It is said that the bridge moves by over 3 feet when the winds are exceptionally strong. Surprisingly, the structure hasn’t been closed yet.
