Onomichi-Imabari Ohmishima Br. Route (59 km) Seto-Ohashi Shikoku Tatara Br. Hakata-Ohshima Br.s Kobe-Naruto Route 89.0km Kojima-Sakaide Route 37.3km Onomiti-Imabari Route 59.4km (Length in Service) (46.6km) Kurushima Kaikyo Br.s

5 Honshu-Shikoku Bridges Expressway Design speed Lanes Nishi-Seto Seto-Chuo Kobe-Awaji- Naruto 80km/h 4, 2 100km/h 4 100km/h 6, 4 Railway - Ordinary & - (Shinkansen) Length(Expressway) 59km 37km 89km Shinkansen can be loaded in the future.

6 Honshu- Shikoku Bridge Project In 1955, First site investigation was begun. In 1967, the Japan Society of Civil Engineers submitted the Final Report. The Honshu-Shikoku Bridge Project was adopted in New National Land Development Program in 1969 Construction started in Three Routes were opened in HSBA was established in 1970 and became a private enterprise HSBE Co., Ltd. in 2005.

54 Impregnating paints for prevention of concrete-structure deterioration Background Resin-base paints needs to be repainted periodically at intervals of about a dozen years due to deterioration of organic binder material caused by ultraviolet rays. Strategy Impregnating paints which are mostly made from inorganic materials and hardly deteriorate under UV rays, are tested on-site.

55 Development of painting robots Painting robot for box girder Painting robot for tower
