I noticed two crossings on the satellite map and the cable-stayed bridge peaking through the approach piers in the above photo, so I checked it out as well. It is the Tsurumi Tsubasa Bridge.

The form of the inverted Y-shaped main tower and the central part of the road connected by cable is reminiscent of a huge bird, and as the largest cable-stayed bridge with single plane cable stays in the world, it even surpasses the Yokohama Bay Bridge in both main tower height and total length." Length: 1020m (0.63 mile) Center Span: 510m (0.32 mile) Main Tower Height: 183m (600') Inauguration: Dec 1, 1994 |
The intersection between the two bridges and the local roads on the port island is noteworth.
