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.
