Foundations were laid on land inside the cylindrical column. The foundation
of the tower legs are soaked then transported to the sea.
Once cast into the sea cylindrical tower foundations columns, has started the
building of the tower legs
After the completion of the tower was stretched
between the two towers tower steel ropes moved by
helicopter
• Akashi Kaikyō throat has no traffic most of
the world.
• The bridge is located in the hurricane zone.
• Suspension bridge technology in the
construction of this bridge has reached the

COMPLETING INSTALLATION OF STEEL ROPE
Due to the earthquake that occurred during the construction works has been
extended for a year.
A year later, was continued construction
Deck Installation began on both towers.
The middle of the bridge after advancing mutual mounting process is

in the making and 1.42 million m3 of concrete.
- Two steel towers into the twenty-absorbing device placed
concussion
- There are over six-lane highway
- Akashi bridge attracts ninety-one per cent of their weight.
-The height of the tower is two hundred eighty-two feet

kilometers
- Bridge, according to 300 kilometers per hour wind blowing
and the richter scale is strong enough to withstand an
