Kansai International Airport interchange, Highway interchange at Sky Gate Bridge R in Izumisano, Japan.
The interchange connects the mainland to Kansai International Airport through a double-decked bridge system spanning across Osaka Bay.
The interchange opened in 1994 as part of the major infrastructure development that established Kansai International Airport on an artificial island.
The interchange represents Japanese engineering excellence through its integration with the world's longest double-decked truss bridge configuration.
The structure accommodates six lanes of vehicle traffic on the upper deck and two rail lines on the lower level, managing high volumes of airport passengers.
During Typhoon Jebi in 2018, a 2600-ton tanker collided with the bridge, leading to temporary closure and emergency evacuation procedures.

This collection brings together major technical achievements that have marked the history of modern engineering. From the Hoover Dam on the Colorado, built in 1936 to produce hydroelectric power, to the ITER nuclear fusion project in France, which represents the future of energy research, these structures exemplify human boldness and skill. Each structure serves a specific purpose: crossing natural obstacles like the Brooklyn Bridge, connecting Manhattan to Brooklyn since 1883, facilitating maritime trade with the Panama Canal between the Atlantic and Pacific, or pushing height limits with the Burj Khalifa at 828 meters. These achievements are visited around the world and often offer remarkable experiences. The Eiffel Tower welcomes 7 million visitors each year who ascend to discover Paris from its 324-meter height. Shanghai's Maglev allows travel at 430 kilometers per hour thanks to magnetic levitation. The Millau Viaduct crosses the Tarn Valley at 343 meters above sea level over 2,460 meters in length. These engineering landmarks invite understanding of how industrial architecture has shaped our modern world, combining functional necessity with technical prowess that continues to fascinate visitors worldwide.
