Toyota Arrows Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge in Toyota, Japan.
The Toyota Arrows Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge spanning the Yahagi River with two tall towers supporting the main span. The structure measures about 800 meters and carries traffic between neighborhoods and manufacturing areas on opposite riverbanks.
The bridge was completed in 2005 as part of the Isewangan Expressway system to improve regional transportation connections. The project arose from the need to better serve the growing automotive industry in the area.
The bridge structure reflects Japanese engineering excellence, incorporating innovative prestressed concrete construction with corrugated steel web technology.
The structure serves daily commuters traveling between neighborhoods and factory locations on either side. It functions as a key connection in the expressway network and experiences regular traffic flow.
It was the first structure of its kind worldwide to use corrugated steel webs in a prestressed concrete cable-stayed system. This engineering innovation made it a landmark example of modern bridge design technique.
