Kashii Kamome Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge in Fukuoka, Japan
Description
Kashii Kamome Bridge is a cable-stayed structure spanning the Kashiigawa River and linking Fukuoka with the Kotake area. The design features distinctive cables supporting a flat roadway that carries vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists across the waterway.
History
Completed in 1999, the bridge represented a major step forward in connecting previously separated areas of Fukuoka Prefecture. Its opening eased congestion and improved regional transportation networks significantly.
Culture
The name Kashii Kamome references the local connection to the sea, with kamome meaning seagull in Japanese. This naming choice reflects how the waterway and coastal environment shape people's sense of place.
Practical
Separate lanes keep vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists apart from each other. Clear markings and signage make it straightforward to find your way across.
Did you know?
The bridge path passes by Michikajima, an uninhabited island with its own access points. Visitors can step off the main route to explore this quiet spot along the waterway.
