Konohana Bridge

The Konohana Bridge extends 540 meters across the Port of Osaka with a steel box-beam deck measuring 3 meters in depth and 23.5 meters in width.

The construction of Konohana Bridge began in 1979 and reached completion in March 1990, marking a new chapter in Japanese bridge engineering.

The Japan Society of Civil Engineers recognized the bridge's technical excellence by awarding it the prestigious Tanaka Prize in 1990.

The bridge serves as a primary transportation route with four traffic lanes, facilitating the movement of vehicles, pedestrians, and bicycles across the Port of Osaka.

At its completion, the Konohana Bridge featured the world's longest span for a self-anchored suspension bridge, utilizing a single main cable system.
