Did you know that the Amazon River, the longest river in the world at 7,100 kilometers, has no bridges along its entire length? 🤔 That’s right - this incredible river flows across almost all of South America, from west to east, yet no one has ever built a bridge to cross it. Why is that? 🌧️ The Amazon flows through vast tropical rainforests 🌴 where heavy rainfall occurs year-round. This constant rain causes the river to overflow its banks, with its width expanding from 1 to 10 kilometers - and during the rainy season, up to an unbelievable 50 kilometers! 🌊 This makes building a stable bridge incredibly challenging. But that’s not the only reason. 🕵️‍♂️ Scientists have discovered the Hamza River, an underground river flowing beneath the Amazon. This hidden waterway makes the soil in the region unstable, creating additional complications for construction. 🚧 On top of that, the Amazon region is sparsely populated 👥 with very few highways or transportation hubs nearby. For the people who live here, water and air transportation 🚤✈️ have always been the most practical ways to travel. Building expensive bridges in such a remote area, where they wouldn’t connect major cities or support heavy traffic, simply isn’t practical. 🌿
