Hiroshima Sky Arch Biggest Arch Bridge in Japan

 

Nicknamed the Hiroshima Sky Arch, this bridge that crosses the Numata River is the biggest arch bridge in Japan.

The bridge is 800 meters wide and the arch measures 380 meters.

The road is 190 meters above the river, and the tallest piers supporting the bridge are 95.6 meters and 89.5 meters, the second and third highest concrete piers in Japan.

The bridge was opened in 2011 and was expected to improve traffic access to Hiroshima Airport from the northern part of the prefecture. I cant find the exact figures, but I believe not much traffic uses it...
