While traveling to long places, we often come across some bridges that go along in a straight way. But, there is an unusual and bizarre bridge in Uruguay, the South American country. Unlike most bridges, which are constructed in a straight line and may be a support, suspension or other conventional types of bridges but, this bridge in Uruguay starts with a straight two-lane bridge but splits up into an artistic circle that cars drive around before rejoining a more standard straight division of the bridge on both ends.

This incredible bridge in Uruguay was designed by an engineer namely Rafel Vinoly in order to slow down the traffic whilst presenting drivers with a panoramic view of the magnificent Laguna Garzon that they are traveling across. This is one of the smartest and intelligent means to deter accidents caused due to over speed. The bridge was merely constructed in a coastal town in Uruguay. The architects at Rafael Vinoly Architects came up with an ingenious and most inventive circular bridge to connect either end of the Laguna Garzón Bridge.

Before building the bridge, it was funded largely by an Argentine real estate investor named Eduardo Constantini, drivers had to pass the body of water on a raft that carries only two cars at the time. This eventuated in an obstruction at the crossing. The entire bridge cost about $11 million and connects the coastline of Rocha to the mainland. Approximately 1,000 vehicles can now cross the bridge, and it is expected that its invention will rise in the development of the coastline.

Watch the most interesting structure of the Bridge:

In the video, you could watch how the lanes split and form opposing semicircles to an oppositely mile-long straightaway. By adding an unnecessary curve, drivers are forced to drive slower and more carefully. When creating the structure of this amazing bridge, Vinoly had both safety and aesthetics in mind. Really brilliant, isn’t it?
