境水道大橋, Steel arch bridge in Sakaiminato, Japan.
The Sakai Channel Bridge is a steel arch bridge spanning 709 meters that connects Sakaiminato and Matsue across the channel. The structure rises about 40 meters high and features dedicated lanes for vehicles and pedestrians to cross over the waterway.
The bridge opened in 1972 as a major transportation link connecting the prefectures of Tottori and Shimane. This infrastructure development united the two cities and supported regional economic exchange.
The bridge earned the nickname 'Fish Bridge' through a community naming contest, reflecting the local fishing heritage of both connected port cities.
Crossing is free for both vehicles and pedestrians, with dedicated walkways offering views across the water. The route allows easy observation of channel activity and nearby surroundings.
Local fishing enthusiasts regularly gather along the bridge to catch fish from the channel waters below. This popular activity shows how the structure has become part of the area's daily rhythms.
