Kobe Sky Bridge

Kobe Sky Bridge, Road-rail bridge in Chūō-ku, Japan.

The Kobe Sky Bridge is a 1,187.6 m road-rail bridge across Osaka Bay between Port Island and Kobe Airport. Its east side carries a two-lane road with a sidewalk, while the Port Liner runs on the west side; the road and rail decks are separate but share piers. The steel structure consists of a seven-span continuous steel-plate box girder with a maximum span of 160 m and two Gerber-type simple steel-plate box girders.

The bridge opened on 2 February 2006 as the Kobe Airport Link Bridge, its official name, while Kobe Sky Bridge was chosen through a public naming competition. It spans 1,187.6 m across Osaka Bay between Port Island and Kobe Airport, with a longest span of 160 m. Its seven-span continuous steel box girder and two Gerber-type simple steel box girders were erected jointly for road and rail to cut construction time and cost.

The name Kobe Sky Bridge is a public-chosen nickname; the official name is Kobe Airport Connecting Bridge. The Port Liner crosses it between Computer Science Center Station and Kobe Airport Station, running on the west side while a one-lane roadway and footpath occupy the east side.

The bridge carries a one-lane roadway and a sidewalk on its east side and the Port Liner track on its west side; the Port Liner crosses it between Computer Science Center Station and Kobe Airport Station. The road and rail decks are separate but share the same piers. Large expansion joints at both ends absorb earthquake movement.

The bridge's official name is Kobe Airport Link Bridge; "Kobe Sky Bridge" was chosen in a public naming contest. Its deck is split: a one-lane roadway and footpath run along the east side, while Port Liner tracks run along the west. The girders are separate for road and rail, but the piers are shared.
