Bridge of the Caspian Sea

It would be a difficult feat to build a bridge across the Caspian Sea of Western Asia due to its approximately 200 kilometer width and 800 kilometer length. However, there is a thin, vertical isthmus serving as a natural bridge, allowing a road to connect two peninsulas in western TURKMENISTAN. This isthmus and road are found along the Caspian Sea's eastern coast and west of Garabogaz Aylagy lagoon. North of the town of Bekdash in northwest Turkmenistan, the highway eventually crossed the border and heads into KAZAKHSTAN. In addition to Turkmenistan's natural bridge with a road, a man-made bridge is found hovering over the Caspian Sea in eastern AZERBAIJAN on the other side of the Caspian Sea.
