2.2 Seto Ohashi Bridge

The Seto Ohashi Bridge stretches 9.4 kilometers from Sakaide in Kagawa to Kojima in Okayama. It is made up of several different types of bridges, including suspension, truss, and cable-stayed. Its two separate levels serve as an expressway for cars (upper level), and tracks for a railway (lower level), making it possible to reach Okayama in less than 10 minutes. In addition to being a valuable amenity for both regional industry and local citizens, the bridge is an important asset to tourism.
