A The, often called the Shimanami Kaidō (trans islands and sea highway is an expressway in Japan that connects Onomichi Hiroshima and Imabari Ehime, The bridge has a center span of 890 metres (2,920 ft).

The expressway is a series of roads and bridges that is one of the three routes of the Honshū-Shikoku Bridge Project connecting the islands of Honshū and Shikoku across the Seto Inland Sea in Japan.

This article is concerned with a particular type of suspension bridge the suspended-deck type Year 1973 ( MCMLXXIII) was a Common year starting on Monday (link will display full calendar of the 1973 Gregorian calendar. In 1989 the design was changed to a cable-stayed bridge with the same span. Year 1989 ( MCMLXXXIX) was a Common year starting on Sunday (link displays 1989 Gregorian calendar) By building a cable-stayed bridge a large excavation for an anchorage would not be needed, thereby lessening the environmental impact on the surrounding area. The steel towers are 220 metres (722 ft) high and shaped like an inverted Y.
Construction of the bridge took a little more than six years and was accomplished without any accidents. Many technological advancements were part of the design and testing of the bridge.
