The Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, also known as the Pearl Bridge, is a stunning example of modern engineering located in Japan, linking the city of Kobe on the mainland of Honshu to Awaji Island. Spanning the Akashi Strait, it holds the title of the world's longest central span of any suspension bridge, measuring an impressive 1,991 meters (6,532 feet). Opened in 1998, the bridge is part of the Honshu-Shikoku Highway and plays a crucial role in connecting the islands of Honshu and Shikoku.
