Akashi Kaikyo Bridge
明石海峡大橋
Kobe, Hyōgo, Japan
318 feet high / 97 meters high
6,532 foot span / 1,991 meter span
1998
With the longest bridge span in the world at 6,532 feet (1,991 mtrs), few people realize the Akashi-Kaikyo bridge (97 meters high) also has the highest bridge deck in the world located at sea level across a port, harbor or bay. While much of this is due to the length, the extra height was also the result of the 46 foot (14 mtr) deep deck truss - the deepest ever built for a suspension bridge at the time of completion.
最大支間長が1,991ｍという世界一長い明石海峡大橋（高さ97ｍ）は、余り多くの人は気づかないかもしれませが、海峡にかけて海面上に位置するデッキもまた世界一高いということです。
