Washimi Bridge is an elegant curving viaduct with what at the time of its completion in 1999 was Japan's tallest beam bridge pier at 118 meters. In 2019 the route was turned into a divided 4-lane expressway and the newer Southbound viaduct was constructed with a pier even taller at 125 meters becoming Japan's tallest pier ever.
