Megami Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge in Nagasaki, Japan
The white Megami Bridge extends 3.1 kilometers across Nagasaki Port, featuring two tall towers connected by diagonal steel cables supporting the deck.
Opening in December 2005, the Megami Bridge established the first direct connection between southern and western Nagasaki, reducing travel time between these districts.
The name Megami, meaning Goddess in Japanese, reflects the bridge's status as a symbol of progress in Nagasaki's modern infrastructure development.
Pedestrians can cross the bridge free of charge, while vehicles must pay a toll to use this essential transportation link spanning Nagasaki Harbor.
Small glass windows installed in the bridge's walkway allow visitors to look down 65 meters to the water surface below.
