Imari Bay Bridge

The Imari Bay Bridge stretches 1.7 kilometers across the water, featuring a width of 11.3 meters and reaching a maximum height of 44.7 meters.

The construction of this transportation link began in 1997 and reached completion in 2004, replacing an older drawbridge that restricted vehicles over 14 tons.

The bridge design incorporates the silver-gray color commonly found in local Imari pottery, reflecting the region's strong ceramic manufacturing traditions.

Four traffic lanes and dedicated pedestrian walkways allow efficient movement between Imari Port's Nanatsu Island district and the Kuhara South district.

The bridge structure combines continuous steel arch spans with prestressed concrete frame sections, requiring a 3000-ton floating crane for installation.
