柴航路橋

The Eshima Ohashi Bridge spans 1.7 kilometers across Lake Nakaumi, connecting Sakaiminato in Tottori Prefecture with Matsue in Shimane Prefecture.

Engineers completed the construction of this transportation infrastructure in 2004, replacing an older drawbridge that limited vehicle capacity to 14 tons.

The bridge received international attention through social media platforms due to its unusual slope angles, which created optical illusions in photographs.

Vehicles can cross the bridge using gradients of 6.1 percent on the Shimane side and 5.1 percent on the Tottori side, with a total width of 11.3 meters.

From specific vantage points near the convenience store at the Shimane intersection, photographers capture images that emphasize the bridge's steep appearance.
