Saikai-Bashi Bridge

The construction started in 1948 and the bridge opened in 1955.
The bridge across from the place of atom bomb detonation site which made many victims for 3 years after WW2 and Sasebo where damage of the aerial bombardment was severe was financed by local government. Don’t you think this idea is tremendous?

Shin Saikai-bashi Bridge

Super view! In the Taisho era (1912.7.30-1926.12.25) while there were no bulldozers or cranes, concrete blocks were piled up manually to the height of 137 m to erect three wireless transmission towers, while there is Shin-saikaibashi bridge which was erected in a non-manual way with a computer-aided crane. What a contrast.
