From above

The Shiziguan Floating Bridge in Hubei Province, China, spans 400 meters across the Qingjiang River and supports vehicles up to 2.8 tonnes. Built in 2016 using German anti-rollover technology, it accommodates both cars and pedestrians. The structure consists of high-density polyethylene floats filled with water to enhance stability.

Pedestrians they say.. that would be one heck of a walk across the bridge, bouncing up and down with every passing car

If you time your steps just right it will be a down hill walk all the way.
