樋詰橋, Rigid frame bridge in Matsue and Sakaiminato, Japan.

The Eshima Ohashi Bridge extends 1.7 kilometers across Nakaumi Lake, reaching a height of 44.7 meters with a maximum span of 250 meters.

The bridge replaced a drawbridge in 2004, eliminating the previous system that caused delays of 7 minutes each time ships needed to pass through.

Engineers designed the bridge with gradients of 6.1% and 5.1% on opposite sides, creating an optical illusion when photographed from specific angles.

The structure accommodates vehicles across its 11.3-meter width, connecting the prefectures of Shimane and Tottori over Nakaumi Lake.

Photographers capture the bridge using telephoto lenses, creating images that make the structure appear steeper than its actual gradients suggest.
