Akinada Bridge, Steel suspension bridge in Kure, Japan.
Description
The Akinada Bridge is a steel suspension bridge connecting Honshu to Shimo-kamagari Island across the Seto Inland Sea. Its design features steel cables suspended from tall towers that support a wide deck accommodating multiple lanes of traffic.
History
The project started in 1995 to improve connections between island communities and the mainland. It was completed in 1999 and opened for public use shortly after, becoming an important regional transport route.
Culture
The bridge serves as a vital link for the local community, enabling seamless connection between the islands and the mainland. Its presence has transformed how residents and visitors move across the region.
Practical
You can cross by car, on foot, or by bicycle, with parking available nearby. Be prepared for windy conditions, as the bridge spans open water where weather can change quickly and affect driving.
