Oshima Bridge, Concrete girder bridge in Sakaiminato and Matsue, Japan
The Eshima Ohashi Bridge stretches 1.7 kilometers across Lake Nakaumi, connecting the cities of Sakaiminato and Matsue with a height of 44.7 meters.
Between 1997 and 2004, engineers constructed this rigid-frame bridge to replace an older drawbridge that restricted access to vehicles under 14 tons.
The bridge structure became a focal point in Japanese media after being featured in a Daihatsu automobile commercial that highlighted its steep incline.
Visitors can access telescopes at the bridge center to observe Lake Nakaumi, Mount Daisen, and Daikon Island from an elevation of 44.7 meters.
The bridge features different gradients on each side, with a 6.1 percent slope on the Shimane side and a 5.1 percent slope on the Tottori side.
