Heira Bridge, Road bridge in Kure, Japan

The construction of Heira Bridge marked a milestone in Japanese infrastructure when it opened on August 1, 1995, enhancing regional connectivity.
The bridge, known as Heira-bashi in Japanese, represents the engineering capabilities of Hiroshima Prefecture while supporting local fishing communities.
