The Akashi Kaikyō Bridge is a suspension connect, which interfaces the city of Kobe on the Japanese terrain of Honshu to Iwaya on Awaji Island. It was finished in 1998,and has the longest focal traverse of any suspension connect in the world,at 1,991 meters (6,532 ft; 1.237 mi). It is one of the key connections of the Honshū– Shikoku Bridge Project, which made three courses over the Inland Sea.From April to November every year, visits are offered four days in a week. Amid these visits, members find out about the extension's history in detail, and they can visit the highest point of one of the suspension towers, which are almost 300 meters in stature.

Before the Akashi Kaikyō Bridge was constructed, ships conveyed travelers over the Akashi Strait in Japan. This risky conduit frequently encounters serious tempests, and in 1955 two ships sank in the strait amid a tempest, killing 168 people.The connect has three ranges. The focal traverse is 1,991 m (6,532 ft; 1.237 mi),and the two different areas are each 960 m (3,150 ft; 0.60 mi). The scaffold is 3,911 m (12,831 ft; 2.430 mi) long by and large. The two towers were initially 1,990 m (6,530 ft; 1.24 mi) separated, however the Great Hanshin seismic tremor on January 17, 1995, moved the towers so much that the traverse must be expanded by 1 m (3.3 ft).
