#190 MARCH 2024BRIDGES OF JAPAN (PART 2)
Japan adopted Western bridge-building techniques as part of its extensive modernization, which began in the mid-to-late 19th century. Today, Japanese bridge-building is known for its world-class technology. In this issue of Highlighting Japan, readers will discover a number of very special bridges—one built as a symbol of recovery from the Great East Japan Earthquake, one that has become a city landmark, the bridges connecting islands, one built in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in a Japanese international cooperation project, and others.
