"Eight sections of steel and wood are assembled by hinges so that they can be rolled up until the ends of the bridge touch, forming an octagon," said Koen Kas, a Belgian businessman. Every Friday afternoon, he said, the bridge "tumbles" for the crowd to admire. Photo: Heatherwick Studio
Located at an altitude of 200 m and a length of 20 m, the Shaharah Bridge is located in the district of the same name in Yemen.



Some believe the bridge was built in the 17th century by a local lord. However, others share this work, built in 1905, during the reign of Imam Muhammad Yahya Hamid ed-Din. Photo: Getty.
Achilleas Vortselas, a mechanical engineer, said: “No modern bridge can compare with the charm of traditional stone arch bridges. Stone arch bridges often show the resilience of mankind.
