Yokohama Bay Bridge
Description:
Yokohama Bay Bridge is an openwork suspension bridge 860 meters long, built in 1989, connects the quays of Hommoku and Daikoku and is one of the longest bridges in the world.
The bridge has a double-deck design with six car rows on the upper and lower decks. Due to frequent earthquakes in the area, the bridge is designed according to a special principle, taking into account the possibility of movement during severe shaking.
The Japanese are proud of their bridge, which is a symbol of the city of Yokohama and is designed so that people passing through it can see all the beauty of this place – from parks to the hills surrounding the bridge. In addition, it is equipped with an observation deck called “Heavenly Alley”. From it you can enjoy panoramic views of the port, Mount Fuji and Boso semi-islands.
