Bridge created from 20,000 sheets of paper

No glue. No cables. No steel reinforcements. The only thing keeping this bridge intact is, well, physics.

If you happened to be strolling across the Grisedale Valley—a ridiculously picturesque piece of land in Cumbria—over the past two weeks, you probably saw what looks like something out of a Monument Valley fever dream. A blindingly bright red bridge spanning a thin creek, made of nothing except thousands of sheets of paper. About 22,000 sheets, according to The Chronicle.

The 270gsm uncoated paper stock, supplied by local manufacturer James Cropper, is colour-fast so the red pigment won't leech out in the rain and damage the environment.
