A very fascinating bridge in Japan. |
The Kawazu-Nanadaru Loop Bridge consists of two
spirals, each 1.1 km long,
80-meter in diameter - the only way for traffic
to get down the mountainside into the valley, too
steep for any other usual road-building solutions.
The busy
Route 414 serves the weekend crowd from Tokyo, intent
to wind down at the hot springs resort of the Izu
Peninsula. The "winding down" bit obviously
starts at this bridge. Built in 1981, the double-spiral
structure demands careful driving - the speed limit
on the bridge is only 30 km/h, which also helps
to better enjoy the views... |
