Don’t be concerned, that pedestrian bridge is supposed to be moving. Designer Margo Krasojevic designed a bridge that can sail along rivers and oceans like a boat. It is a stackable structure that can be folded, stacked and expanded, explains InhabitatThe bridge can be easily moved from place to place or it can be permanently positioned.

The bridge has a few parts: a main floating section, three expanding walkways, and a carbon fiber triple sail. According to Inhabitat, the sail can be raised and lowered by a buoyancy rotator. This allows the bridge to also function as a sailboat so it can move locations.

The structure is stabilized by cross-flow turbines that function as rafts. The walkway itself expands and contracts — so it can adapt to different areas — into the main body of the structure and is supported by a “hydraulic telescopic secondary structure.”

Krasojevic, commissioned by the Ordos government, designed the bridge to cross the Wulanmulun River, located in Ordos city, Kangbashi district Mongolia.
