Shiosai Bridge

Shiosai Bridge is a prestressed concrete bridge in Kakegawa that spans approximately 232 meters with a width of 3 meters. It consists of four continuous spans designed to connect different areas of the city.

The bridge was completed in 1995 and represented an important advance in pedestrian infrastructure for Shizuoka Prefecture. It was a major project to improve connections between different areas of the city.

The name Shiosai translates to sea breeze in Japanese, reflecting the natural elements that influenced the engineering design of this structure.

The bridge serves as a dedicated passage for pedestrians and cyclists with easy access. It is best visited during daylight hours when the surroundings are clearly visible.

The construction uses stress ribbon technology instead of conventional supports, giving the bridge a modern and elegant appearance. This innovative design also minimizes the horizontal forces on the structure.
