Description: It is the world’s longest suspension bridge at nearly four kilometers across. It crosses the Akashi Strait to link Kobe with Awaji Island. It is the equivalent of four Brooklyn Bridges. It is also very tall, at 928 feet, which makes it higher than any other bridge in the world. The bridge holds three world records: the tallest, longest, and most costly suspension bridge. The bridge can resist wind of up to 180mph, and it can handle magnitude 8.5 earthquakes.
