常總大橋, Cable-stayed bridge across Tone River in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan

The Joso Bridge stretches 518.2 meters in length and features an 11-meter-wide steel girder structure spanning the Tone River between two prefectures.

Before the bridge construction in 1979, a floating bridge made of 20 steel boats connected by wooden planks served as the main crossing point.

The name Joso Bridge derives from connecting the former provinces of Hitachi and Shimosa, reflecting the historical territorial divisions of Japan.

The bridge replaced an unreliable ferry service and temporary floating structure that could not operate during river flooding periods.

The construction cost reached 2.68 billion yen in 1979, with Nippon Kokan handling the engineering and implementation of the steel structure.
