Sometimes bridges serve a purpose and other times, they end up becoming permanent fixtures that get incorporated into their surrounding landscape. This following bridge to nowhere was constructed by the Burlington byway in Vermont in 1984. The price tag for this bridge was just under $400,000 too. At the time, the purpose of the bridge was to keep the area connected. However, it never fully came to fruition.

Nowadays, this bridge to nowhere is a unique spot to explore. However, since it’s hardly used, you’ll have to fight through the shrubs and weeds to get to it.

This bridge to nowhere was originally planned to reach North Avenue in Burlington, Vermont.

As you can see, the end of the bridge is blocked off so that curious folk like you cannot get to the other side. If you did, it would lead to more shrubs and bushes.
