Hitsuishijima Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge in Seto Inland Sea, Japan

The Hitsuishijima Bridge spans 790 meters with a center span of 420 meters, connecting Honshu to the island of Hitsuishijima through a double-decked structure.

The construction of Hitsuishijima Bridge started in 1978 following several ferry accidents, highlighting the need for secure transportation across the Seto Inland Sea region.

The bridge functions as a vital connection point between Okayama and Kagawa prefectures, enabling regular exchanges between communities on different islands of Japan.

Travelers can cross the bridge via the Seto-Chuo Expressway, with vehicles and trains using separate decks to facilitate efficient transportation between the islands.

The structure required 3.646 million cubic meters of concrete and 705,000 tons of steel during its construction, demonstrating the scale of Japanese engineering capabilities.
