Not only can the curve on a woman's body be regarded as sexy. A curvy road on a bridge with a scenic background can be sexy and romantic as well.

Have a look at this curvy bridge-road which goes over a scenic sea-view in Norway.

The Atlantic Road, opened in 1989, zigzags across low bridges that jut out over the sea, linking the islands between Molde (famous for its annual jazz festival in July) and Kristiansund in the western fjords.

Chosen as “Norway’s construction of the century” in 2005, the 8.72-kilometre (5.4 miles) long road links together small coastal communities.

~ Sharp turns and wild nature have put the Atlantic Road at the top of the British newspaper The Guardian's list of the world's best road trips. 

Ever wondered why Ex-PM Dr Mahathir Mohamed was hell-bent to build the curvy or “crooked" bridge across the Johore Straits linking Johor Bharu and Singapore when he was the Prime Minister?

Read how he tried to persuade current Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak to continue with his “crooked bridge” idea to replace the existing Causeway link to Singapore in 2009.

Dr M pushes crooked bridge to Singapore once again

even after Paklah rejected the idea when he was the Prime Minister (circa 2003-2008).

The controversial writer/journalist, Wong Choon Mei ended his write-up with a sarcastic note: Who knows the indefatigable Dr M may actually get his own way in the end – harebrained or not! But of course, the key question remains – does Malaysia need this sort of mega-project right now or would a simpler more down-to-earth solution be wiser?
