Notojima Bridge, Road bridge in Nanao, Japan

The Notojima Bridge stretches 1,050 meters across Nanao Bay, connecting mainland Nanao City to Notojima Island with its prestressed concrete structure.

After decades of relying on ferry service, the bridge opened on April 3, 1982, marking a major infrastructure development for Ishikawa Prefecture.

The bridge's design resembles seagull wings spreading across the water, reflecting the maritime heritage of the Nanao Bay region.

Pedestrians and cyclists can cross the bridge freely since 1998, when toll charges were eliminated after construction costs were fully recovered.

The bridge withstood the 2007 Noto Peninsula earthquake with minimal damage, requiring only four days of closure for inspection and repairs.
