Onomichi Bridge, Cable-stayed road bridge in Onomichi, Japan.
The Onomichi Bridge extends 1300 meters across the Seto Inland Sea, connecting the mainland of Honshu with Mukaishima Island through steel cables and concrete pylons.
The bridge opening in March 1968 marked a transformation in regional transportation, establishing the first fixed link between Honshu and Mukaishima Island in the Seto Inland Sea.
Engineers recognize the bridge's technical excellence through the Japan Society of Civil Engineers Tanaka Prize, reflecting Japanese expertise in infrastructure development.
The structure incorporates dedicated paths for cyclists participating in the Shimanami Kaido route, with bicycle rental services available at both ends of the bridge.
The bridge forms part of the Nishiseto Expressway system, which connects multiple islands through nine bridges between Honshu and Shikoku.
