島大橋

Shima Bridge is a concrete crossing in Gifu that spans the Ijira and Neo Rivers while linking different parts of the city. The structure stretches roughly 355 meters and carries vehicles between the areas separated by these two waterways.

Construction started in 1987 with two lanes and expanded to four lanes by 1995 to handle growing traffic. This enlargement reflected the increasing demand for the connection between the city areas.

The bridge serves as a central connection point for local festivals and community events, enabling residents to maintain strong social connections across different neighborhoods.

The bridge is accessible to both pedestrians and vehicles with clear views across the river landscape. Crossing is straightforward whether you are walking or driving.

The bridge structure combines reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete technologies, with a width of 21.80 meters and a design speed of 50 kilometers per hour.
