Kamagari Bridge, Road bridge in Kure, Japan
Kamagari Bridge is a road crossing that spans the Sannnose Seto waterway connecting Shimokagarijima and Kamikamagarijima islands using a steel truss framework with multiple lanes for traffic. The structure allows uninterrupted vehicle passage between the two island communities year-round.
The bridge opened in October 1979 and marked a turning point for transportation in the Hiroshima region. This opening fundamentally changed how the islands connected to each other.
The bridge connects island communities that rely on regular contact for daily commerce and social life, making it essential infrastructure for people living on both sides of the strait.
The bridge is open to vehicle traffic year-round and undergoes regular inspections to maintain its structural condition. Visitors should expect normal traffic conditions and be aware that heavy vehicle flow can occur during peak times.
The bridge sits above an important fishing waterway and is regularly traversed by local boats beneath it. This dual function as both land and water transportation route makes it a distinctive feature of the island infrastructure.
