Koror–Babeldaob Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge in Koror, Palau.
The reinforced concrete bridge extends 413 meters across the water, connecting the islands of Koror and Babeldaob through a portal frame structure.
The original 1978 bridge collapsed in 1996, leading to the construction of the current structure by Kajima Corporation, which opened in 2002.
The bridge received the name Japan-Palau Friendship Bridge during its opening ceremony, reflecting the strong relationship between the two nations.
The structure carries essential infrastructure components between the islands, including fresh water pipes and electrical conduits for the population.
The previous bridge held the world record for longest concrete box girder span until 1985, when the Gateway Bridge in Brisbane surpassed it.
