The Akashi Kaikyō Bridge, also known as the Pearl Bridge, is indeed one of the world's most remarkable engineering marvels. The opening date for traffic on the Akashi Kaikyō Bridge was April 5, 1998.
Spanning the Akashi Strait, the bridge connects the city of Kobe on the mainland of Honshu to Awaji Island, also in Japan. With a total length of about 3,911 meters (12,831 feet), it holds the title of the world's longest suspension bridge. The bridge is an iconic symbol of Japan's engineering prowess and serves as a vital transportation link between various regions.
Construction of the Akashi Kaikyō Bridge began in April 1988 and took about a decade to complete. Its design and construction faced numerous challenges due to the region's frequent earthquakes and typhoons. However, through innovative engineering techniques and meticulous planning, the bridge was successfully built and has since become a symbol of Japan's resilience and technological advancement.
