THE MOST BIZARRE HIGHWAY YOU HAVE EVER SEEN

 

The Atlantic Ocean Road in Norway is pure insanity

 
On this real road that seems like a five-mile long roller coaster ride, your vehicle makes twists and turns and climbs and descents, while getting soaked by ocean waves.

According to Atlas Obscura:  The curvy road dips and arches over the brutal waves of the Norwegian Sea that often crash over the pavement during storms, and was subjected to 12 hurricanes during construction.
 
A 5.2 mile segment of County Road 64 in Norway consists of several causeways, seven bridges, and four viewpoints to take in the scenic view.
 
Driving along the Atlantic Road is like teetering on the edge of the sea. The road's roller coaster feel, curvy bridges and phenomenal views have made it a favorite of road trippers and motorcyclists.
