About

Sky Gate Bridge R (R Sukaigētoburijji R), also known as the Kansai International Airport Access Bridge, serves as a link between the mainland of Osaka, Japan to the artificial island in Osaka Bay on which Kansai International Airport is built. It is the longest double-decked truss bridge in the world. The bridge carries six lanes of automobile traffic on top and two of rail below, over nine truss spans.
