Hakata-Ōshima Bridge

The Hakata-Ōshima Bridge spans 840 meters across the Seto Inland Sea, connecting the islands of Hakata and Ōshima with its steel cables and concrete towers.

The construction and opening of the Hakata-Ōshima Bridge on January 17, 1988, marked a new era of connectivity within the Nishiseto Expressway system of Japan.

The bridge forms an integral part of the 59-kilometer Nishiseto Expressway, reflecting Japanese engineering excellence in maritime infrastructure development.

Four traffic lanes facilitate transportation across the bridge, while designated areas allow visitors to observe the surrounding waters of the Seto Inland Sea.

The bridge features a main span of 560 meters and stands as one of several major crossings in the chain of bridges connecting Honshū and Shikoku islands.
