Did you know?
💡 As a cable-stayed structure, the bridge's deck is supported by cables strung directly from its tower rather than draped between separate towers as on a suspension bridge, giving it a distinct look. Its role as part of the Himi Fishing Port harbor road also ties it directly to the working life of the port.
