大甲橋, Road bridge in Sakaiminato, Japan.
The Daigai Bridge is a road bridge spanning Lake Nakaumi that connects two cities across approximately 1.7 kilometers. The structure employs rigid frame construction and stands among the largest of its engineering type in the world.
Construction took place between 1997 and 2004, replacing an earlier drawbridge that severely limited vehicle capacity and traffic volume. This modernization enabled unrestricted passage between the two shores.
This crossing links two communities and serves as a vital route for daily commerce and commuting between regions. Travelers often notice how the structure shapes the landscape and becomes a recognizable landmark for people moving between the two areas.
The roadway features gentle gradients on both sides, allowing traffic to flow smoothly throughout the day. Visitors can expect normal driving conditions and may cross at any time without delays caused by closures.
Telephoto photographs create a visual trick that makes the bridge appear far steeper than it actually is. These deceptive images have attracted worldwide attention and turned the structure into a popular subject for striking photos.
