World's shortest bridge

Somerset Bridge in Bermuda (Western North Atlantic Ocean) is less than 56cm wide, which makes it "the smallest bridge in the world". It is only wide enough to accommodate the mast of a sailboat. Walking across this super narrow bridge only takes a few seconds.

Despite its small size, Somerset Bridge still requires regular maintenance. Not only is this one of the top attractions for visitors to Bermuda, but it has also been on the country's banknotes since 2009. In 2015, the bridge was officially recognized as a historical site.
