Bannosu Viaduct, Rigid-frame bridge in Chugoku Region, Japan

The Bannosu Viaduct spans 1.7 kilometers across Nakaumi Lake, connecting Matsue in Shimane Prefecture to Sakaiminato in Tottori Prefecture with a width of 11.3 meters.

The bridge, completed in 2004 after seven years of construction, replaced an older drawbridge that limited daily crossings to 4000 vehicles weighing under 14 tons.

The bridge's elevated design and structural configuration have earned it the local nickname 'Roller Coaster Bridge' among residents of Shimane and Tottori prefectures.

The viaduct rises to a height of 44.7 meters with gradients of 6.1% on the Shimane side and 5.1% on the Tottori side, allowing ships to pass underneath.

The Bannosu Viaduct holds the distinction of being Japan's largest rigid-frame bridge and ranks as the third-largest of its type worldwide.
