Yamba Bridge is one of 3 high bridges that cross over the deep waters of the Yamba reservoir from the damming of the Agatsuma River. Yamba Bridge is a prestressed concrete extradosed bridge with a length of 494 meters. Completed in 2014 the box deck is 4 meters deep over the piers and 3 meters deep at center span.

In 2009 there was enough opposition to the 131 meter high Yamba Dam that the project was put on hold until 2014 when work resumed with the dam finally being completed in 2019.

The two main spans of 135 meters are supported by towers 13 meters above deck with a maximum pier height of 77.5 meters.

Further west is the similar Fudo extradosed bridge. You can bungy jump from the Yamba Bridge.

Bungy Japan also offers bungy jumping from other high bridges in Japan including Ryujin, Itsukimura, Sarugakyo, Sudokeikoku Fuji, Kaiun and Suwakaio Minakami Bridges.
