Gensai Bridge, Rigid-frame bridge in Shimane Prefecture, Japan.

The Gensai Bridge extends 1.7 kilometers across Nakaumi Lake, reaching a height of 44.7 meters with a width of 11.3 meters.

Construction of the Gensai Bridge took place from 1997 to 2004, replacing an older drawbridge that restricted vehicle traffic due to frequent ship passages.

The bridge connects the regions of Matsue in Shimane Prefecture and Sakaiminato in Tottori Prefecture, fostering exchanges between local communities.

Traffic flows smoothly across the bridge with manageable gradients of 6.1 percent on one side and 5.1 percent on the other side.

The structure holds the distinction of being Japan's largest rigid-frame bridge and ranks third worldwide in this engineering category.
