Ukai Bridge

Ukai Bridge is a transportation bridge in Gifu Prefecture that connects communities across the region with a modern structural design. The main span crosses a significant distance and serves as an important link between different areas.

The bridge was built during a period of infrastructure development in post-war Japan. This construction helped strengthen regional connectivity and support growing economic activity in the area.

The bridge's name comes from a traditional fishing method where cormorants are used to catch fish in local rivers. This ancient practice still shapes how people connect to the landscape today.

The bridge carries heavy daily traffic between different neighborhoods and remains accessible for all vehicles. Plan your visit to avoid busy hours when traffic is at its peak.

The bridge was designed with special structural features to handle natural forces common in the region. These engineering choices were made to withstand earthquakes and strong winds that are typical in this area.
