Kashima Bridge, Truss road bridge in Kure, Japan
The Kashima Bridge stretches across the Karōto-ko-seto strait, connecting eastern and western sections through its triangular framework steel construction.
The construction and inauguration of the bridge on December 6, 1975, marked a shift from traditional water transportation methods in the Kure region.
The bridge name reflects the local geographic designation of Kashima, following Japanese traditions of naming infrastructure after surrounding areas.
Regular maintenance checks and structural assessments ensure the bridge remains safe for daily vehicle traffic between communities in the Kure area.
The bridge design incorporates specific height clearance requirements to accommodate maritime vessels passing underneath, maintaining naval traffic flow.
