Naka-no-Seto Bridge, Rigid-frame bridge between Shimane and Tottori Prefectures, Japan.
The Naka-no-Seto Bridge extends 1.7 kilometers across Nakaumi Lake, featuring gradients of 6.1% on the Shimane side and 5.1% on the Tottori side.
The bridge, completed in 2004, replaced an older drawbridge that restricted traffic flow and could only accommodate vehicles up to 14 tons in weight.
The structure strengthens the connection between Shimane and Tottori Prefectures, facilitating commerce and travel between these two distinct regions of Japan.
Drivers crossing the bridge can access designated spots near convenience stores to capture photographs, with telescopes available for viewing the surrounding landscape.
The bridge holds the distinction of being Japan's largest rigid-frame bridge and ranks as the third largest of its type worldwide.
