Hiroshima-Hatsukaichi Bridge, Steel bridge in Hiroshima Bay, Japan.
The Hiroshima-Hatsukaichi Bridge is a steel structure that spans across Hiroshima Bay, linking two areas on opposite sides of the water. Its design allows both vehicle traffic and maritime passage underneath, making it a multi-purpose crossing.
The bridge was completed in the early 2000s and opened a direct route between two areas that previously required longer travel times to reach each other. It became an important part of regional infrastructure development.
The bridge connects two communities on opposite sides of the bay, and locals use it as a regular route between Hiroshima and Hatsukaichi. Over time, it has become a common part of daily travel for people living in the surrounding areas.
The bridge carries regular vehicle traffic and is monitored to keep drivers informed about road conditions throughout the day. It is best crossed during daylight hours, and drivers should be aware of weather conditions that might affect visibility or safety.
The bridge was engineered to allow ocean-going vessels to pass beneath it, which required careful planning of the structure's height and clearance. This design choice kept the bay's maritime traffic flowing without obstruction.
