Floating Swing Bridge with a 280 m Span, Osaka

"Tech Port Osaka" is the name given to a large project for the Port of Osaka. The project includes construction and development of three reclaimed islands, each with port, residential and commercial facilities as well as parks and sport stadia. A 410-m-long floating swing bridge section, with a main span of 280 m, is under construction across navigable channel. The floating bridge is part of a 940-m-long road crossing, the Yumeshima-Maishima Bridge, which will connect the two eponymous reclaimed islands to the regional road network.
