Shikoku Saburo Bridge

The Shikoku Saburo Bridge extends 910.5 meters across the Yoshino River, featuring a 14-meter-wide deck that accommodates two traffic lanes.

The bridge, inaugurated in 1998, forms an integral part of the Honshū-Shikoku Bridge Project connecting Japan's main islands across the Inland Sea.

The name of the bridge incorporates Saburo, a Japanese term for third-born sons, reflecting its position along the Yoshino River, one of Japan's three major waterways.

The structure links the northern bank at Ojin-cho with Fudouhigashi-cho to the south, enabling efficient movement of vehicles and goods within the Shikoku region.

The bridge incorporates specific design elements for emergency services access and maintenance operations, ensuring continuous safe passage across the Yoshino River.
