Rokkō Bridge, Double-decker cable-stayed bridge in Higashinada-ku, Japan

The Rokkō Bridge extends 400 meters across Osaka Bay, featuring two decks that carry vehicles, pedestrians, and the Rokko Liner transit system.

The bridge received the prestigious Japan Society of Civil Engineers Tanaka Prize in 1977, marking its contribution to Japanese infrastructure development.

During the 1995 Great Hanshin earthquake, the bridge maintained continuous operation, providing critical passage for residents of Rokko Island to mainland Kobe.

The upper deck accommodates northbound traffic and the Rokko Liner, while the lower deck serves southbound vehicles and includes a pedestrian walkway.

This steel structure represents the first double-deck continuous truss cable-stayed bridge in the world, with its main span reaching 220 meters.
