Road To Nowhere? Optical Illusion Appears To Show A Disappearing Road - But It's Not What You Think!

When it comes to an optical illusion, the Internet just can't seem to get enough of it. The appetite for new mind-bogglers is only growing by the day.

Now, we have a real-life illusion that is blowing people's minds. Motorists have been left puzzled as they came across an optical illusion appearing to show a disappearing road.

Storseisundet Bridge in Norway is built in such a way that it gives the impression of being a bit of a road that comes to an abrupt and dangerous end some 75 feet above the ground.

What makes the bridge special is the fact that it seems to have a different shape from whichever angle you view it.

Although quite safe, the design of the bridge conceals the road as drivers approach, making it appear as if their car is about to plunge into the sea.

Once drivers start to cross, it reportedly seems to disappear in front of you as you continue on your journey.

This isn't the first time an illusion involving a bridge has left people baffled.

In 2019, an optical illusion appearing to show cars on a bridge seemingly disappearing as they drive towards a river went viral.

The video captioned "Yes, the traffic just disappears", had left everyone scratching their heads with many joking that it is similar to the infamous Bermuda Triangle.

Ultimately, Twitter figured out that the bridge in question was not a bridge at all. The "bridge" is a normal road, and what looks like a river below is actually the roof of a parking lot these cars were driving into ¡ª the video was shot from above.

Meanwhile, recently a driver was left puzzled as he came across a mirage that looked like the ground had caved in.

The now-viral video shows a driver bringing his car to a halt upon what appears to be a gaping hole in the middle of a concrete underpass. ¡°They don¡¯t have this sh*t blocked off or nothing, and I thought I was just f*****g high. That¡¯s just a pit. On the on-ramp,¡± the man recording the video exclaims.

Another car then approaches and slows down as it nears the hole. At this point, the driver can be heard saying: ¡°Is he gonna f*****g go?¡± As the vehicle slowly passes the hole, the person filming the clip realises it¡¯s actually a puddle of water. ¡°Holy sh*t. Oh, it¡¯s water¡­ It looks like a pit doesn¡¯t it?¡± he can be heard saying.

¡°I¡¯m not actually high, but holy f**k bro. It looks like a pit doesn¡¯t it? I thought they just carved out a hole. I¡¯m tripping," he adds.

The man then drives through realising it was just a crazy optical illusion.
